What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and direct. It touches on the natural process of decay, which is handled scientifically rather than emotionally. There are no sensitive social or personal topics addressed.
Ideal Reader
A 6-to-8-year-old 'Earth Warrior' who loves getting their hands dirty and wants to know the 'how' behind nature. It is ideal for a child who has just started a school garden project or a family looking to introduce sustainable habits at home.
