What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This book contains no significant sensitive topics. Its approach is secular and universally focused on the positive aspects of childhood exploration and imagination. Any conflict is extremely low stakes, such as minor disagreements between friends or the initial feeling of listlessness, and is resolved quickly and hopefully.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 7 to 10 year old child who frequently says, "I'm bored." They may be transitioning from parent-directed play to more independent activities, feel overwhelmed by a busy schedule, or rely heavily on screens for entertainment and need a nudge to spark their own imaginative play.
