I bought my granddaughters "ANNIE and the WAVES". What a great book. It tells a story, reinforces the rules & asks questions on the child's understanding. A very educational book.

I am very impressed with your book. In my 40 years of teaching I haven't come across a book that so simply and concisely explains safety at the beach. It will be a great asset to promote our water safety program at preschool.
Beach safety for children – simply and concisely explained!
A massive congratulations to you and everyone else involved in putting this together. I can see why this has been such a big hit! There was content which a lot of our swimmers/Dippers would respond really well to i.e. things that are very factual/literal (e.g. the white peaks on the waves).
