Backed by the experts at Mayo Clinic, Period. is the no-nonsense guide kids and caregivers alike can trust to navigate menstruation.

Periods. Every person who menstruates has a different relationship with their 'Aunt Flow': some good, and some...not so good. This 4-colour graphic novel guide embraces all the icky, sticky, and confusing aspects of the monthly cycle, acknowledging that there's no cookie-cutter way to manage the physical and emotional mayhem.

Filled with bite-sized tips, tricks, and 'inside' medical information, this humorous, character-driven guide is the best friend you never knew you needed. And with its fully gender-, body-, and sexuality-inclusive content, this is the no-judgement zone. Whether you're dreading your first period or can't wait to throw a Period Party, you'll find all the answers you need right here.
