"Lizzy and the Light Below" gives mothers a beautiful tool for
explaining and celebrating their daughters' first menstruation.
Going beyond the important message that menstruation is a natural
process and a sign of good health and fertility, this story tells
how a girl named Lizzy--who has just had her first
period--accidentally journeys to a friendly otherworld where she
learns that human culture originated from the earliest women's
understanding of their menstruation--from their simple mathematics
of counting the moon's phases to their development of the earliest
religious beliefs and practices, and more. Her otherworld guide,
Luciela, The Keeper of the Light Below, tells her that, now that
she is a Changing Girl, her resepectful attention to her body,
feelings, and thoughts during menstruation can be a way for her to
stay true to her dreams, revitalize her relationships, and renew
the world. The book is written to be read aloud, but could be given
to a girl to read alone. To provide mothers with background for the
book's historical and anthropological claims, the third edition
includes an introduction that condenses a part of the author's
doctoral studies.
