GingerAntics Where were these books when I was a kid?! No one but catholic school told me ANYTHING!!! I‘m getting them and reading them now just to support the author and the ridiculously important and pathetically overlooked work of educating girls about themselves! 8mo

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I have purchased so many copies!! My daughter has the original STILL. It is such a wonderful book. 8mo

Care and Keeping of You (Revised): The Body Book for Younger Girls | Valorie Schaefer

Dear Litsy fam - Please get your annual checkup! Keep your blood pressure in check. Monitor existing conditions. Eat better. Ladies - get your mammogram and Pap smear. Men - get your prostate exam. My mom was diagnosed with cancer and ten weeks later she was gone. I now carry around a lot of "what ifs". Nag your loved ones to take preventative care seriously - I wish I had. Bonus reading time included. *gets off soapbox & gets boobs squished*

laurieluna I really don't get why some women will lay on a table and let someone wax them, but won't go for a smear. Baffling. 7y

TrishB 👍💟well said 7y

TrishB @miralunasbooknook doesn't make sense does it! 7y

I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

— Emily Dickinson 7y
