Lucy's Big Adventure: Safe and Sound is a gentle, beautifully illustrated story that helps young children learn awareness without fear. Through the eyes of Lucy and her playful dog, readers explore everyday situations-walking through the neighborhood, meeting trusted adults, and understanding how to speak up when something doesn't feel right. The book uses simple language and warm imagery so children feel confident rather than worried.Written for families to read together, this story opens natural conversations between kids and the people who care for them most. Each page encourages trust, communication, and recognizing safe places. Parents and grandparents will appreciate how the lessons are woven into an engaging adventure instead of a rule book.This is more than a children's tale-it is a tool that supports lifelong safety habits. Caregivers, teachers, and new parents can use Lucy's journey to reinforce that every child has a voice and a circle of adults ready to listen. Perfect for bedtime reading, early learners, and any home that values raising children who feel secure in the world around them.-Charles E. Barlow
