Concerning & Potentially Concerning Content

As far as concerning content there is not much here. The biggest item is that the parents are certainly imperfect. While you may argue this is meant to show reality there are a few things in here that are not ever really shown in a negative light. Mom doesn’t always handle Nat’s mess-ups with the patience and grace we might hope for from a Christian parent (of course, we have all been there). At another point she tells Nat no about a friend coming over very firmly, but when Nat asks her to play with her, she makes a small noise of frustration and calls for the friend to come over (Mom is attempting to work from home while taking care of Nat and is frequently on the phone, while it seems Nat is supposed to just “do her thing”). There is another related unfortunate comment where Nat observes that Mom used to be a boss at her job, but now she works from home and mostly bosses Nat and Daddy around (meant to be funny, but certainly not a view of a Christian marriage we want to put forward). Nat does say “blah, blah, blah” when describing one of her mom’s calls, but this doesn’t come across as being intended to be disrespectful. — We should also mention that some of the wording may confuse really early readers. At times the author uses language to show Nat is young, which early readers won’t be used to. Small item, but something to be aware of.
