Follow Rana on Twitter @ranadiorio and on Instagram @ranedear.Trade Review"Rana DiOrio's book tackles all these safety issues that kids face growing up in suburbia. She does it in a calm and gentle way, raising the right points but without making it scary. I like how she touches on listening to your inner voice and standing up to bullies. This is the kind of book that reinforces the messages that we parents give. It allows for dialogue should an issue come up, but it can also just be an gentle reminder of how to stay safe. And that's exactly the message that I want to impart to my kids." - Pragmatic Mom "What Does It Mean To Be Safe? puts everything on an empowering basis. It isn't about staying safe, it's about making yourself and others safe... A diverse cast of characters, beautiful illustrations and the use of green technology to produce a superior product are also plusses." - Marian Allen, author "There was a time when not taking candy from strangers and 'stop, drop and roll' were all anyone had to worry about. In our world today, safety means so much more. Rana DiOrio's books need to be in every classroom and home library-and most importantly in the hands of every child. " - Van Overton, Executive Director #SpreadLoveABQ "This wise story about the word 'safe' is told through charming drawings and compelling words." - Irene van der Zande, founder and executive director of Kidpower International "This book should be required reading. Not only is this message great for kids, but it's also a powerful reminder of how caring adults can help children feel safer." - Lanna Davis, director of children's programs, Futures Without Violence
