Whooo hoooo! Check out the August issue of Parents Magazine

I am so excited that my friend, Angelica, and me, are featured in this month’s issue of Parents Magazine in the full page article, “Kindergartner Saves Dad from Burning Home.” How cool is that?

From what Firefighter Dayna tells me, the magazine is seen by over 15.3 million people. How cool is that?

The article shares the story of how my friend, Angelica, was able to save herself and her dad, Kenneth, from their burning home. Angelica had attended a fire safety presentation at her school that Firefighter Dayna and I did, just two months prior. Angelica said that she "knew exactly what to do” to save herself and her father by crawling low under the smoke to get out of the house. Isn't that pawesome?

Story from my friend, Beverley Walker

My good friend, Beverley, shared this wonderful photo with me.

Bev is a fire safety educator and uses my book, Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog, when she reads to children. What is really fun about this photo, is that the teacher and students didn't know that Bev was going to be reading our book and that Bev personally knew Sparkles. Imagine Bev's surprise when they handed her this poster!

Pawsome, Bev! Thanks for sharing!
