What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals with death-adjacent concepts like mummies, ghosts, and vampires. The approach is entirely secular, factual, and historical. These topics are treated as objects of scientific or cultural curiosity rather than sources of fear or grief. The tone is detached and humorous, ensuring the material is not emotionally heavy. For example, mummification is explained as a historical process.
