Reaching for the Moon is the girl's version of Lucy H. Pearce's much-loved women's book, Moon Time: a guide to celebrating your menstrual cycle. Written especially for girls aged 9-14 as they anticipate and experience their body's gradual changes.

- The secrets of the moon.
- The secrets of our cycles.
- The gift of self-care.
Along with practical advice on:
- Preparing for her first period.
- Choosing menstrual products.
- Herbal healing.
- Celebrating menarche.

Reaching for the Moon is a nurturing celebration of a girls' transformation to womanhood, written by a mother and respected women's educator.
