I am Safe

I am Safe is a Grade 1 first reader that turns essential safety lessons into confident, age-appropriate language a child can rehearse out loud. Eight illustrated spreads walk through "I look left and right," "I listen for cars," "I walk on the zebra crossing," and "The gate is shut. I am safe" — pairing road sense and home safety with the rhythm of repetition.
