What Parents Should Know

Cultural Content GapMild

Very brief mention of Indigenous culture may require more context from a grown-up.

Sensitive Topics

The book's mention of Aboriginal Australians is extremely brief, as is typical for a book of this length and reading level. This simplification presents a cultural content gap. Parents may need to provide additional context about the history and contemporary life of Indigenous peoples. The approach is secular and factual.
