FIRST MOON, Celebration & Support for a Girl’s Growing-Up Journey
Maureen Theresa Smith
P.R. Contact: Monique Muhlenkamp
It’s Moontime, and it’s time to celebrate being a strong, beautiful, magical you! Your first period can be an exciting time, but it can also be challenging as you experience the changes happening with your body and moods. Like most transitional times in life, it’s a time to prepare you for the journey ahead, and with First Moon you’ll discover that becoming a woman is empowering, infinitely creative, and fun.
Colorful and artistic, First Moon offers support to girls as they develop physically and socially into young women, specifically at the time leading up to and including their first menstrual period. Emphasizing the strong connection between a young woman, her community, and our natural world, First Moon can boost a girl’s creativity, confidence, and body awareness with style and finesse. With facts, safety tips, recipes, crafts, meditations, and inspirational stories, First Moon delivers practical guidance for navigating change with grace, fun, and confidence.
“Maureen Smith's kit First Moon is a delightful, caring, practical guide for girls approaching menarche. Every girl should receive this gift that overflows with the joy of being female and teaches her to care for herself as she develops, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It contains a wealth of information about the female body and widens our view with stories from other cultures — for example, Egyptian, American Indian, Mexican — that reflect positive attitudes toward becoming a woman. Written in an accessible supportive voice, mothers will find that they too are enriched by sharing this guide with their daughters.”
