What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals with predator-prey dynamics and extinction. The approach is entirely scientific and secular. Depictions of hunting are matter-of-fact, framed as a natural part of survival. Extinction is presented as a historical and geological event, often linked to climate change, without emotional weight. The resolution is simply the presentation of scientific facts.
