What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focused on the natural physical world.
Ideal Reader
A 4-year-old who is obsessed with 'why' questions and loves to collect colorful objects. It is perfect for a child who may be slightly nervous about thunder but finds comfort in understanding the science of what happens after the storm.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. However, parents might want to have a prism or a spray bottle ready in the backyard to demonstrate the concepts immediately after reading. A child asks, 'Where do the colors go when the rainbow disappears?' or 'How does the water stay in the sky?'
