Serena Lark never planned to write about growing up-it just happened after too many conversations that ended with, ""I wish someone had told me this sooner.""She believes information should feel like comfort, not pressure, and that honesty is the kindest way to guide someone through change.Her work focuses on helping young readers understand their bodies and emotions without shame or fear, mixing clear facts with the kind of calm reassurance that stays with you long after you close the book.Serena writes in a voice that feels more like a big sister than a teacher-warm, genuine, and sometimes quietly funny. Above all, she hopes her words remind every girl that growing up isn't something to dread. It's just the beginning of knowing yourself.
