What If I Get Lost in a Store?: A Calm Child Safety Story About Staying Safe, Finding Help, and Know

A gentle safety story that helps children know what to do if they get lost in a store - without fear.

When Noah goes shopping with his mom, they make a simple safety plan before entering the store. But when a bright dinosaur balloon catches his eye, Noah turns around and cannot see his mom anymore.

His tummy feels wiggly. He wants to run. But then Noah remembers the plan:

Stop. Stay where helpers can see you. Ask a store helper. Never leave the store with anyone except your grown-up.

With calm words, warm illustrations, and easy steps children can remember, What If I Get Lost in a Store? helps families talk about safety in a reassuring way. This book is perfect for reading before shopping trips, classroom safety lessons, counselor discussions, and gentle role-play at home.
