"With the growing number of job losses in the work force today, new issues are emerging for American families. Job loss is often a major source of anxiety, stress, and worry for children, and parents often keep their own fears of the future from their children out of shame or embarassment. This extraordinary book is the perfect instructional tool for concerned parents, schools, outplacement services, and mental health centers."

My Mum (Helen Hollick) wrote this book for me when I was 4 years old - I am now 18. She wrote it because she wanted to tell me, in a way that I would remember, how to keep myself safe from being abducted or hurt by "strangers". COME AND TELL ME has a simple and straightforward message that all children can easily remember and ACT UPON should the need arise - always TELL before you GO, whether with a friend or someone you don't know, always COME AND TELL. Something like 75% of child abduction is committed by someone the child vaguely knows - i.e. a neighbour, or that nice man Mummy occasionally says hello to. It's no good saying "don't go with strangrs" young children don't actually know what the definition of a stranger is! Be safe, read COME AND TELL ME to your child, it's not only informative, but a lovely little story as well!
