What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals directly with the concept of death and extinction on a species-wide level. The approach is purely scientific and secular, explaining that the dinosaurs died out millions of years ago, likely due to an asteroid impact. It is presented as a factual event without emotional weight, focusing on the scientific theories rather than the tragedy of the event. The resolution is simply the statement of a historical fact.
