Synopsis

Newly redesigned (originially published in 2003), Project Butterfly continues to be a reassuring must-read for teen girls and every adult who supports or works with girls. With clarity and sensitivity, Niambi Jaha-Echols explores the physical, emotional and social aspects of growing up. In a supportive and practical voice, she provides answers to the questions girls have about their bodies, and related topics such as, "Why Is It Always About Sex?", "Finding My Posse", "Periods, Mood Swings and the Moon", "Connecting With My Life Purpose" and more. Niambi provides a touch of ancient wisdom as she supports and encourages young women and girls through the changes and challenges of life using the life cycle of a butterfly as a wonderful model of transformation
