Safety Superheroes: Preventing Grandparents From Falling
Maya, Ana and Tomer are helping Grandpa prepare the house for Grandma's return home from the hospital. The hospital gave them a list of tips that will make their house safe so Grandma will not fall again. The children decide to attack the list as costumed superheroes.
The illustrations and text demonstrate how the children approach each item on the list and make adjustments to make the home safer. Then they prepare for a welcome home celebration for Grandma.
The resource suggests potential and preventable risks for safety in the home. The checklist at the end of the book, while useful, should be made as generic as possible so that all children can identify with it. The book is available in English, French and Chinese.
Although the website has not been evaluated, additional resource material is available online and may be used at the discretion of the educator - www.safetysuperheroes.com
