My "What If?" Book

My "What If?" Book takes a straight-forward approach to educating children about the threat of child predators and similar child safety issues. The text uses "what if?" questions to describe threatening situations that children may encounter in their daily lives, then provides appropriate responses in bold, vivid words designed to leave a lasting impression. The message in the text is reinforced with colorful, action-packed images that nearly jump off the pages. What makes My "What If?" Book unique is that it avoids the use of vague terms such as "stranger" that are often confusing to young children, and instead focuses on the circumstances the may pose a threat to children. The goal of My "What If?" Book is to stimulate discussion between parents and children that goes beyond the examples in the book. The initial pages of the book also provide a place for parents to list valuable information, such contact numbers, adults that the child can trust and a special code word that parents can designate in case of an emergency.
