What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and focuses on the cyclical nature of the environment. There are no heavy or sensitive topics like death or loss; even the 'death' of the year is presented as a quiet transition into a new beginning.
Ideal Reader
A thoughtful 5 or 6-year-old who enjoys quiet activities like drawing or exploring the backyard. It is particularly suited for a child who might feel overwhelmed by high-energy stories and needs a literary 'deep breath.'
