None. The book is entirely secular and focused on the physical and emotional safety of a stable domestic setting.
Ideal Reader
A two-year-old who is starting to use the word 'mine' and is seeking to understand their place within the family home. It is also excellent for a child who may be experiencing slight anxiety about the dark or bedtime, as it recontextualizes the home as a series of friendly, known objects.
