What Parents Should Know

Sad ThemesMild

While the story is happy, the back matter mentions the parents' passing as the inspiration.

Sensitive Topics

While the book was written as a tribute following the parents' passing, the text itself is entirely secular and celebratory. It focuses on the life lived rather than the loss. The approach is realistic and hopeful, focusing on the preservation of happy memories.
