2018 Bronze Medal Readers' Favorite Children's Social Issues

Lily and Niko's childcare class is practicing for the Great ShakeOut(TM). They learn that the Great ShakeOut(TM)helps prepare them for an earthquake. They learn the basics of what causes an earthquake, how it causes things to fall and break, and how it can sound like a really loud tummy rumble. They also learn where they can go and what they should to (drop, cover, and hold on) to be safe inside buildings, outside, and in a car. At the end of the day they know what to do to be safe during an earthquake.

Reading this book is a great way for parents, childcare providers, and caregivers, to talk to toddlers and preschool children about earthquake safety in a non-frightening way.
