What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book addresses climate change directly but uses a secular, metaphorical framework of 'making a promise' to the Earth. The tone is hopeful and empowering rather than apocalyptic. There is no mention of animal death, though the loss of habitat is discussed as a reason for the animals' worry.
