Marguerite is ten years old. One day, in the school bathroom, she sees a stain on her underwear. It looks like a little cloud. And her stomach is swollen. Marguerite has a pretty good idea of what’s happening to her, but she doesn’t dare talk about it with her friend Shan. Getting your period in fifth grade! It’s too early… Fortunately, explanations from her mother and Mrs. Salmon, the nurse, reassure her. Marguerite also discusses it with her friends. There are many prejudices and taboos surrounding periods. Growing up is always a little scary, but when you understand it well, you realize that your body is extraordinary. Marguerite shares her new knowledge with the class during a presentation.
