This is not about creating mini paramedics. It's about helping children feel calm, capable and ready to get help when it matters — a movement toward raising a generation of helpers, protectors and responders.

Every page follows the Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines. Both authors are practicing clinicians — and Sarah is Vice Chair of the ARC's Victorian branch.
Illustrated by Pia (of What Paramedics Do) to capture first aid in a whimsical, child-friendly way — appropriate for sensitive and anxious children.
