Kofi's Fast Feet Learn to Wait
A rhyming picture book about crossing streets and parking lot safety Kofi has the fastest feet in the neighborhood, and he's sure stopping is for slowpokes. When he races ahead on a trip to the market, a turning van and a backing-up truck show him how easily a speedy kid can be missed. With help from his grandmother, Nana Esi, and his friend Luz, Kofi learns that fast feet work best with a thinking head.
By the end, he is teaching little Sami the same lesson. This bouncy, read-aloud story turns everyday safety into something kids will remember and want to repeat. Its simple refrain, stop, look, listen, then go, gives children a habit they can use at every crosswalk. Kids will learn to: Stop at the curb and look left, right, and left again Keep checking for turning cars, even when the walk sign says go Hold a grown-up's hand in parking lots Spot white backup lights and understand that drivers can't always see small kids Wave, wait, and make eye contact with drivers before moving Why parents, teachers, and caregivers love it: Rhyming couplets that are fun to read aloud and easy to memorize A diverse cast, including a confident main character who uses a wheelchair Gentle storytelling that teaches without scaring: no crashes and no scolding A child who learns by doing and then becomes the teacher Great for preschool and kindergarten classrooms, back-to-school time, and bedtime
Perfect for ages 3 to 7. A good fit for homes, classrooms, libraries, and anyone who wants to start safety conversations early. Add it to your cart and help the fast feet in your life learn to wait.
