Your Puberty Vocabulary Guide
SOME OF MY FAVOURITE PAGES
To help you get a feel for the tone of the book I have chosen the first few lines of some of my favourite pages.
Page 7. Meet the Characters
I’d like to introduce you to the characters that Steph, the AMAZING illustrator of this book, and created for you. Keep reading to meet the one and only Adam (who is a super-friendly, super talkative kid your age), his dog called Rocket (who can beat Adam in a running race), Mr Puberty Watch (an imaginary but helpful invention) and a bunch more. I hope they all bring a smile to your face, help you learn, and (most importantly) make talking to trusted adults a lot easier.
Page 16. Talking to the Right People About Puberty
Talking to the right people about puberty and your body is really, really important. You don’t want to talk to just ANYONE about personal stuff. Imagine going up to a random person and saying, ‘Hey dude, what is puberty all about?’ That’s not a conversation for strangers or people who aren’t SUPER trustworthy.
Page 68. Scrotum and Testicles
Your Scrotum has two Testicles inside of it. You might refer to your Testicles as your ‘balls’ or ‘nuts’ because, well … they do look and feel like balls or nuts! Most men’s Testicles are about the same size, though it’s common for one to be slightly bigger than the other. It’s also common for one Testicle to hang lower than the other. Testicles should feel smooth, without any lumps or bumps, and firm but not hard.
Page 104. Grooming Products
Men’s grooming products (that’s the stuff men use to take care of their facial hair) are actually available in a lot of places — both at the supermarket and specialty stores. As you get more hair, you will have lots of options to choose from — scented shaving creams and gels and soaps, brushes to apply them, disposable razor blades, electric razors. It’s pretty cool stuff! And if you have a beard, you can take care of it by using oils, balms, beard brushes, combs and trimmers.
Page 202. Brain Changes
They call this process brain pruning. Imagine it being like pruning a bush, but it’s your brain! The big question: How does your brain know what to prune and what not to? Pruning withers away the neurons which you don’t use. It doesn’t get rid of anything important — just unnecessary stuff which is cluttering or slowing things down in there. It wants to work as effectively as possible. It also strengthens the neurons which you do use. Your brain will keep pruning until you are about twenty- four years old. After it has finished, your brain will be built around the things you like to do and are good at.
At LeeLu, we know that parenting is hard. Neurodivergent parenting is even harder.
And doing it solo, unsupported, and exhausted? That’s a whole different world.
But even on the busiest, toughest days — there are tiny moments of magic.
Moments where your child opens up while filling in a journal.
Moments where a poem on a string helps them through a rough morning.
Moments where you sit side-by-side and remember the good things together.
We create tools for those moments — so no matter how wild life gets, your child always knows:
“You are seen. You are loved. I’m here.”
We’re a mum-and-daughter duo navigating life with ASD, PDA and ADHD — one day, one meltdown, one magical moment at a time - and we’ve learned that connection is everything.
In the chaos of busy days, big feelings, and trying to do it all on our own, we kept coming back to one thing: our kids don’t need perfect… they just need to feel seen, safe and loved.
LeeLu is our way of holding onto that.
It’s where we share what helps us stay close — from memory journals to pocket pets, from honest stories to future travel dreams — all designed to create simple, meaningful moments with the ones who matter most.
Because when life gets loud, connection is the quiet magic that holds it all together.
And every child deserves that.
We’re so glad you’ve found us. 💛
