What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals with death in a scientific and non-personal context. There are depictions of predator and prey relationships and a non-graphic portrayal of the mass extinction event via asteroid impact. The approach is entirely secular and fact-based. The resolution is not a story arc, but the presentation of current scientific understanding.
