You Know, Sex: Bodies, Gender, Puberty, and Other Things

You Know, Sex by Cory Silverberg, illustrated by Fiona Smyth, is a comprehensive, queer-inclusive sex education book for older tweens and teens. It covers bodies, gender, puberty, consent, relationships, pleasure, and safety in a graphic-novel-style layout with lots of humor and conversational text. Caregivers and educators who want a truly inclusive resource appreciate its attention to a wide range of bodies and identities. It’s best for mature middle schoolers and high school students, ideally read slowly with room for questions and discussion. The book is frank and may feel too direct for some families, so previewing is important. Using it alongside health classes or trusted online resources can create a robust sex ed foundation.
