What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is very sanitized and focuses on positive achievements. It touches on the pressure of fame in a secular, direct way, but there is no mention of the controversies or personal struggles that often accompany child stardom. The resolution is entirely hopeful and celebratory.
