What this book is about

Making friends is exciting - whether it happens on the playground or online. This book follows two children as they learn how to talk to new people, handle shyness, and recognize when something doesn’t feel right.

By showing both in-person and online situations side by side, children learn that the same safety rules apply everywhere: be kind, but be cautious; don’t keep secrets from parents; tell a safe adult if something feels wrong; and don’t share personal information.

In the back of the book, parents will find red-flag examples kids might hear online, conversation starters for “what if” situations, and guidance for helping children speak up.

This book is ideal for families who want to introduce online safety, stranger safety, and healthy communication in a way that feels safe and non-scary for young readers.
