What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is religious in nature, presenting the birth of Jesus as a miraculous and holy event. There is a brief mention of there being 'no room at the inn,' but it is handled as a logistical hurdle rather than a moment of harsh rejection. The resolution is entirely hopeful and celebratory.
