Hot Day Cool Kid

A Gentle Story About Staying Safe in the Heat

Heat safetyAges 3–7

“Sip, shade, and rest!”

Rory loves bright summer days with Auntie Malia. On a very hot day, Rory learns to sip water, play in the shade, wear a hat and sunscreen, and check the slide before sliding. When Rory’s friend Lina feels dizzy, Rory knows just what to do – tell a grown-up, quick! – and learns why kids never stay in a parked car.

A sunny story for ages 3–7 that helps every child remember: hot day, cool kid!
