What Parents Need to Know
About Baby
Parents need to know that love, loss, friendship, and grieving are all themes here, and the way these people, especially Larkin and Lalo, treat each other is a model for human relations. Children may also want to discuss the mother who abandons her baby, whether she did the right thing, and whether she deserves to have her back.
