Izzy and Ollie, Children’s Safety Education

Izzy and Ollie, Children’s Safety Education, was inspired when my 2 year old called an ambulance during my medical emergency. As I have life threatening allergies, I taught my young children basic emergency responses should I or indeed they ever find themselves needing urgent help. There are millions of people around the world who suffer from an illness or acute condition or even become incapacitated following an accident which could require emergency care. If, like I was, you were at home with only your young children, you may be relying on them for assistance one day. As our story hit the media it became apparent that other parents had not considered teaching their young children this vital life saving skill simply because they considered them too young to understand, or incapable of doing so. My daughter is living proof! Isabelle (now 7) and I have written a series of stories for children based around characters Izzy and Ollie and their magical bear Ellie. The children find themselves entangled in a predicament and the story teaches children a course of action they can undertake. The first in the series, Adventure in an Ambulance, is an illustrated storybook, perfect for reading to young children to help them understand how to call (and when not to call!) the Emergency Services. This book has already helped save lives. Here’s hoping we can save more. http://www.izzyandollie.com/bookpurchase/
