What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book presents the Santa Claus myth as a factual and magical reality, which is a sensitive topic for families who choose not to participate in this tradition. The context is a secularized version of a Christian holiday (Christmas), but the focus remains on the folklore figure, not any religious aspect. The idea of a stranger entering the home is presented as purely benevolent and magical, which could be a point of discussion for some parents, but is handled in a completely non-threatening way for the target age.
