What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and celebratory. While it depicts a historical era where segregation was a reality, the focus is squarely on the joy of the music and the dignity of the performers. Any mention of the struggle behind the music is handled metaphorically through the 'blue' notes and the soulful expressions of the artists. The resolution is one of pure communal harmony.
