Review

This book is perfect for parents and caregivers searching for ways to discuss stranger danger with young children without causing anxiety. Teaching kids not to talk to strangers, and even how to identify a stranger, may be challenging. Roman’s story is peppered with helpful phrases like, “Keep our distance” and “We don’t speak to people we don’t know,” ensuring young readers understand the message without instilling a fear of the unknown. —The Children’s Book Review (Read the full review.)
