Baby You Should Wait Awhile Danielle Procope

"You need to be focusing right now. Focus on your goals, dreams, and ambitions. Focus on your health, your relationship with God, your recreational time, your rest, your schooling, and everything else. It is important for you to truly "do you." What is the rush anyway?" Destiny Robbins' "Baby, You Should Wait Awhile," is an empowering and easy-to-read book meant to speak to young girls about the importance of being careful and intentional about sex. In a world where young girls are relentlessly pressured into sex from a young age by their peers and the media, Ms. Robbins' book is more than timely. She thoroughly outlines the benefits of waiting to have sex in a way that will be fun and entertaining to young readers. She keeps an older sister-like tone throughout the book that will compel her readers to really think through what she's telling them and she uses her own personal experiences to ensure that the book is down-to-earth and relatable. It's a must read for young girls and for the adults who deeply care for them. -Danielle Procope Content: The book talks about sex, sexual health, and domestic violence. The intro contains explicit lyrics- remember the songs are songs that your youth has likely listened to.
