What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals with commercial fishing. The catching of salmon is the central purpose of the boat's work. The fish are shown caught and stored on ice in the hold. The approach is entirely secular and matter-of-fact, presenting fishing as a job. It is not graphic, but it directly addresses that animals are caught for food. The resolution is simply the boat returning to port after a successful day's work.
