Aum loves his big sister, Anu Didi, and the two of them do everything together. But Aum is very puzzled by the way his sister feels unwell once every month, and is unable to go to school or play badminton with him. What Aum does not know is that his sister has a monthly visitor: menstruation! Join Aum as he learns more about his sister’s monthly visitor, and see him grow into an understanding and supportive younger brother as his sister goes through the changes faced by young women all over the world. This book is written in an effort to increase awareness around menstruation and to reduce the stigma around it. We hope that these pages have helped the reader understand and articulate the body’s natural processes and to realize that ‘menstruation’ is not just a women’s issue - conversations around it need to be normalized across diverse demographic groups if we hope to live in a world where people are not embarrassed by their bodies—a world where we feel free and uninhibited, and are able to be both, proud and compassionate toward ourselves and others!

What can Cuban doctors, innovative ranchers in Saskatchewan, and the microbiome teach us about how to care for people and the Earth at the same time? In this richly layered book, Didi Pershouse takes us on a fast-moving, sharp-witted journey through her own life: from growing up with the neurosurgeon who accidentally discovered the seat of memory in the brain, to working in a smoke-filled office at New York magazine, to her career as an innovative acupuncturist in Vermont, and on to a passion for close-knit communities, grazing cows, and soil restoration as solutions to much of what ails us.Along the way, she unfolds a surprising new take on the story of our time: how the germ theory of disease joined with a profit-based economy, and unwittingly led to a "sterilization" of medicine, agriculture, and even our social lives. This 150-year detour has brought about the near destruction of our climate as well as a great forgetting of the power of connection.By documenting a scientific understanding of the intelligence of the whole, Pershouse nudges us awake with a hopeful view and shows us how to reclaim the rich, "fertile" lives we are meant for.
