One in a Million
A First Book About Periods
Written By: Konika Ray Wong, M.Ed.
Interactive. Fun. Period Positive.
Imagine a world where every little girl felt strong and confident in her body and every child with a uterus celebrated their superpowers. This book is the first step in that direction. In One in a Million, children meet a cute uterus character that takes them on a journey that demystifies the process of ovulation and the menstrual cycle.
This empowering first introduction is a guided story for kids ages four and up to read with a grownup. The author has shared this story with her own daughter and thousands of her students and she is thrilled to share the narrative with a broader audience. The kid-friendly characters and simple scientifically accurate text set a positive tone about periods without shame or stigma.

Fun and Interactive
Interactive clues encourage kids to think like a scientist and have fun being a detective to figure out the mystery.
-
Empowering
Kids are naturally curious and very observant. The earlier we demystify the menstrual cycle, the more we normalize and destigmatize this natural process.
-
Engaging
The story is short, simple, and scientifically accurate. These are the key ingredients to success. Sitting down to have the “big talk” is outdated. Keep it short and let their curiosity guide the way.
