Bonk! When I Bump My Head

A Gentle Story About Head Bumps and Telling a Grown-Up

Head bumpsAges 3–7

“Tell, ice, rest, and watch!”

Ari loves the playground – the swings, the slide, and running as fast as the wind. But one day, Ari trips while running and – BONK! – Ari’s forehead bumps the edge of Nana’s bench. Ari tells Nana right away, and Nana knows just what to do: an ice pack wrapped in a cloth, quiet rest, and a grown-up who keeps watching. Ari learns why helmets matter and which signs mean a grown-up should get help fast.

A cozy story for ages 3–7 that helps every child know: after a bonk, tell a grown-up, and you will be cared for.
