For my girls, I bought the American Girl book. Is there something for boys ? He’s 12.
Any recommendations?
I’m okay with Jewish and non-Jewish author.

I haven’t read any of them, but if you google, there are a bunch of options. You can read the reviews.

Thanks - I did. I figured a recommendation from an imamother would hold more weight for me.

For what it’s worth, I’ve heard good things about the first and third ones that came up on my search- “guy stuff” and “everything you always wanted to know”

For a frum perspective, this is free for boys:

I liked (and my son seemed to too) "The Boy's Body Book" by Kelli Dunham

I got my boys "Growing Up Great!" and I think it's a great book. Covers everything without being too graphic.

American Girl has a version for boys, called Guy Stuff: The Body Book for Boys. I liked it, it was thorough, covered everything a boy needs to know, but also doesn't push any agendas like the newer generation of puberty books. I really wish there was a boy version of Wonder of Becoming You for a Jewish take.
