Smart, Safe, and Strong

A Rhyming Story About Everyday Safety and Calling 911

Everyday safety & calling 9-1-1Ages 4–8

“Stop and stay. Check first. Know just what to do!”

Kai Santos is curious, kind, and ready to learn. With Mom and Grandpa, Kai practices a full name, a phone number, and a home address, learns to stop and stay when lost in a busy store, and finds out that tricky people are about what someone asks you to do – not how they look. And when Grandpa suddenly won’t wake up, Kai stays calm, calls 9-1-1, and knows just what to say until help arrives.
