What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and humorous. It touches on the pressure to perform, but does so through a satirical, absurdist lens. There are no heavy topics, only a brief moment of loneliness in space that is quickly resolved with a hopeful, loving reunion.
