What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and realistic. It handles the theme of physical growth with a hopeful, gentle lens. There are no mentions of 'growing pains' or the stress of change; instead, it focuses on the positive capabilities that come with age.
Ideal Reader
A three-year-old who is starting to notice they can do things they couldn't do last year, or a child who is feeling 'left behind' as peers or siblings seem to grow faster.
