What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The topic of climate change is handled in a direct, secular, and scientific manner. It is presented as a factual challenge without overly alarmist language. The focus is on the causes and the science behind the change, rather than dwelling on catastrophic outcomes, which keeps the tone informative rather than terrifying. The resolution is implied to be in human hands, creating a sense of agency rather than despair.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is an 8 to 11-year-old who has moved beyond basic weather books and is starting to ask 'why' questions about the planet. This child enjoys facts, diagrams, and understanding how systems work. They may have overheard conversations about global warming and are seeking a clear, straightforward explanation without a heavy political or emotional charge.
