Breasts, Butts, and Thighs—Oh My! Weight Spurt and Body Image Messages in Girls’ Puberty Books
Analyze popular girls’ puberty books to understand what messages they portray about weight spurt and body image. A critical ethnography was conducted of 13 best-selling books about girls’ puberty.

Comparing Associations Between Puberty, Ethnic–Racial Identity, Self-Concept, and Depressive Symptoms Among African American and Caribbean Black Boys
