Child safety is of paramount importance in today's increasingly threatening world. Safe children, rather than stranger danger, is the operative phrase and the goal of this book on kids' safety around strangers.

What Would You Do? A Kid’s Guide to Staying Safe in a World of Strangers teaches and empowers children, in a non-threatening way, to take a proactive role in staying safe from predators and harm. 

The concept of stranger is difficult for children to understand. What Would You Do? A Kid’s Guide to Staying Safe in a World of Strangersexplains to children the concept of strangers in a very kid-friendly way. 

An interactive format of multiple choice solutions to potentially dangerous situations involving strangers creatively engages both children and parents and presents effective strategies for taking precautions and staying safe. 

Games and puzzles in the book reinforce the lessons learned. A chapter for parents presents tactics for reassuring their children and protecting them from potential threat.
