At the exchange, talking about the book Cong an cong truc an truc, Ms. Vu Minh Hoa said: "Having the current joys is because I have determined to never give up in helping my children go through the crisis of puberty, because I know that if I give up, my children will find it difficult to overcome the magical temptations that always surround young people. Sometimes, parents also have to change. Children are whoever they are. We know enough, know how to adapt and know how to love, we will be happy."

Evaluating the book, Dr. Tran Thi Thu Hien, Deputy Head of the Department of Gender and Development - Vietnam Women's Academy said: "I highly appreciate the choice of a very meaningful topic about gender, in which LGBT gender needs to be respected. We do not discriminate, do not discriminate and should not have any form of comparison regarding gender."

"The book "Curvy and Straight Eat Straight" - Anti-shock diary for children in puberty talks about two changes, one is the psychological and physiological changes of puberty and the other is the change in gender. The book touches the heart of every parent and every reader.

Deep down, there is love to send a message: Who the child is is not important, what gender is not important, the most important thing is whether the child can truly become a good citizen, knowing how to contribute or not", Dr. Tran Thi Thu Hien added.

With 135 pages, the book is written in the form of a diary by a mother, who is also the author, telling the story of two sons with episodes that most families with children reaching puberty can probably encounter, hoping to help parents have better empathy and experience, and gain more skills to help their children overcome the crisis of puberty.

Through the book, author Vu Minh Hoa, a single mother with a grown son in the LGBT community, wants to spread a message to parents: as long as their children live a good and healthy life, they are happy.
