What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book's premise rests on the fact that animals are often injured or killed by traffic and their habitats are fragmented by human infrastructure. This is handled in a direct but not graphic way. The focus is never on the gruesome details, but on establishing the problem that necessitates the hopeful solution. The approach is scientific, secular, and consistently optimistic, framing humans as helpers and problem-solvers.
