Question/Doubt Question about a possible difference between the book and TV series

Hey all, I just recently started watching the Netflix series, and absolutely love it. Just one question I had that popped up, in the TV series they show from the first episode that their parents are alive, is that a TV series exclusive or is that something that is also shown in the first book / early on in the books as well?

Please keep in mind I'm only on the Wide Window episode of the TV series, so no spoilers beyond that, haha.

People have to stop asking important lore question when the answer hasn't been told.

Such a pet peeve of mine when watching something with others, like girl if you just keep watching, more information will continue to be revealed

to keep this "no spoilers beyond the Wide Window" while still answering your question, what I'll say is this:

the books until that point do not show a plotline resembling what you described.

now, if you want to know more about it you will a) be spoiled for the show b) be spoiled for the books, or c) have to watch/read more

I haven’t seen the show, but to give an actual answer to your question, the Books 1-13 start with the children being informed of their parents’ death, so they are not around at the beginning, No.
