What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and scientific. It avoids the more frightening aspects of environmental science, such as climate change or natural disasters, focusing instead on the stable and beautiful features of the planet. The tone is hopeful and celebratory.
Ideal Reader
A 6-year-old who is obsessed with maps or nature documentaries and wants to know the 'real names' for the things they see outside. It is also excellent for a child who feels a bit intimidated by the vastness of space and needs to feel grounded on solid ground.
