Buckle Up

Ollie doesn't want to sit in his car-seat or wear his seat-belt until Mum shows him some of the supercool things people can do while using a seat-belt to keep them safe. As parents, we spend a lot of time and money choosing the safest car seats and installing them properly to keep our children, our most precious cargo of all, protected in case of accident. But our little ones don't always appreciate our efforts. Some kick and scream and hate being pinned down. Follow Ollie in this picture book as he rides a rollercoaster, drives a racing car, flies a plane and blasts off into space ... all while always wearing his seatbelt, of course.

Life can be challenging at times, and unpredictable, with ups and downs and all sorts of things we can’t control. It’s like driving a car on a bumpy road. We can’t wish the bumps away. We can’t control who travels those roads with us, or make the sun shine on our journey if it’s a rainy day. But we can control how we feel about it. We can let it make us angry or sad or scared, or we can stay calm, accept the challenges, and make good decisions. That’s what this story is all about. With Nini the bird as your special guide, you will take a driving journey in your imagination, a road trip in your mind, with you in the driver’s seat. You’ll learn how to face life’s obstacles and disappointments with healthy, positive “green thoughts”, and wait patiently for the rainbow that will surely follow the rain.
