What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book handles natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions from a strictly secular and scientific perspective. The approach is direct and factual, focusing on the 'how' rather than the human impact, which keeps the tone safe for younger children.
Ideal Reader
A first or second grader who is obsessed with collecting rocks or who has just seen a documentary about volcanoes and wants to know more about how the world is put together.
