What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This book is intentionally light and does not contain any sensitive topics. The approach is secular and focuses on universal childhood experiences of play and friendship.
Ideal Reader
An emerging reader (ages 6-7) who is just transitioning to chapter books. This child enjoys quiet, realistic stories about friendship and everyday fun, and would be overwhelmed by high-stakes plots or complex fantasy.

Parent Prep
None needed. This book can be read cold. The vocabulary is accessible, and the content is straightforward and universally positive.
