Ginormous Jo's Lost Buddy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781076190567)

Your child gets lost-and you freeze with fear.
You've taught them to stay close, but one moment of distraction changes everything. Yet kids rarely remember complex 'stranger danger' lessons when panic sets in. The problem isn't your child-it's that safety advice feels abstract and scary, not actionable.

What if a lost child heard the solution from a friend they loved?
Buddy the puppy knows what it's like to be separated from family. Through his eyes and warm voice, children learn concrete, calm steps: find a trusted adult (police, security, store worker), say your parent's name and street. Luckily, pets have collar tags with the information on it. Children can learn to memorise the words, just in case. This isn't fear-based-it's empowering.

Inside you'll discover:

• How to spot a safe grown-up when you're scared
• Why knowing your parent's name is your superpower
• What an ID tag can do for a pet
• Buddy's brave choice to trust the right person
• A lovable character kids return to again and again
• A story that sparks calm conversations in classrooms, or at home, bedtime.

This is the safety book parents wish existed. Perfect for ages 3-8, reading aloud or independent discovery.
