What Parents Should Know

The main character is briefly lost and scared before meeting new, friendly characters.

Sensitive Topics

This book handles the theme of fear metaphorically. The penguin's anxiety is a stand-in for common childhood fears (separation, new experiences) rather than a response to a specific trauma. The approach is entirely secular, focusing on prosocial emotional skills. The resolution is positive and unequivocally hopeful, with no lingering ambiguity.
