What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The primary sensitive topic is the introduction of a new sibling and the associated feelings of jealousy and displacement. This is handled metaphorically through Angelina's experiences and is resolved in a gentle, reassuring, and hopeful manner. All conflicts are low-stakes social or emotional challenges, like performance anxiety or minor disagreements between friends.
