What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and hopeful. It briefly mentions that girls couldn't be forest rangers in the past, which is handled as a historical fact rather than a moment of deep trauma. The aging process is depicted as a positive, active experience.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler who is obsessed with their pets and loves to 'perform' for the family. It is also excellent for a child who feels discouraged because they are told they are 'too small' or 'not allowed' to do something they love.
