What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book presents a secular, Westernized version of Christmas. While carolers are mentioned, the focus is on family traditions like decorating, baking, and Santa, rather than religious aspects. The story centers on a white, multigenerational family, which may not reflect every reader's experience but the themes of togetherness are universal. The approach is direct and celebratory.
