What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and scientific in its approach. There are no sensitive topics or threats; even the vastness of space is presented as a welcoming playground for discovery.
Ideal Reader
A two or three year old who has noticed the moon for the first time and is beginning to ask 'why' about the physical world.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. The text is simple enough that no prior scientific knowledge is required to explain the concepts as they appear. A parent might reach for this after their child asks, 'Why doesn't the moon fall down?' or 'Where does the sun go at night?'
