What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book touches on longing and the wait for a child in a very metaphorical and secular way. While it doesn't explicitly mention infertility or adoption, the emotional resonance of 'waiting for a wish' makes it a popular choice for families who have experienced those journeys. The resolution is entirely hopeful.
