What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and safe. It avoids heavy topics, focusing instead on the whimsical and orderly nature of a child's immediate environment. There are no depictions of trauma or loss.
Ideal Reader
A three-year-old who is obsessed with 'helpfulness' and naming things. This child likely enjoys looking at busy pictures and finding small details, like Lowly Worm hidden on a page, and thrives on the positive reinforcement of correctly identifying a color or letter.
