Every family is different. The Kids Read Next Parent Content Guide helps parents learn more about the content of books before deciding whether a book is a good fit for their child.
For each book, we provide information about potentially sensitive topics, including death or grief, bullying, family conflict, violence or frightening content, and profanity or strong language.
Our goal is to help families make informed reading choices while encouraging children to discover books they love.
What We Look For in Books

Bullying

Family Conflict
Information about arguments, family changes, or difficulties between family members.
