A warm, funny first period story for kids aged 8 and up, written by Robin Adolphs and Amanda Adolphs of Fanzy Pantz.

Bailee, Willow and Mitch are heading off on school camp. Bailee hasn’t had her period yet and doesn’t know much about it, but with a little help from her friends she puts together a make-do period pack. So when her first period turns up in the middle of camp, she’s sorted.

It’s a story first, with no diagrams and nothing that feels like homework, so it’s easy to read together or let her read it herself. Mitch is in it too, because periods aren’t a girls-only secret.

$1 from every copy sold goes to Share the Dignity.

How it works

Backpack Sorted is a story first. Bailee, Willow and Mitch head off on school camp, and a first period turns up that wasn’t on the packing list. With a little help from her friends, Bailee has what she needs, and it all turns out to be no big deal.

There are no diagrams and no medical talk. It’s easy to read together, or to hand over so she can read it herself, and there’s no pressure to read it all at once.
