What Parents Should Know

Sensitive Topics

The book is entirely secular and safe. It treats the concept of 'ending' metaphorically through nature. There is no trauma or loss, only the natural cycle of time presented in a hopeful, cyclical way.

Ideal Reader

A highly observant 4-year-old who feels a bit melancholy when things end, or a child who is nervous about starting the autumn school term and needs a way to process the shift in their environment.
