What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book takes a purely secular, scientific approach to biology. There is no mention of plant decay or death, focusing entirely on the growth phase of the cycle.
Ideal Reader
A 5 year old who has just planted their first cup of soil in kindergarten and is struggling with the concept that things happen underground before they see a sprout. It is for the literal thinker who needs visual evidence to understand abstract concepts.
