About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is captivated by emergency vehicles or begins asking how people stay safe in the vast, sometimes scary ocean. It is an ideal choice for transitioning a toddler's love of 'things that go' into a more mature understanding of community helpers and brave careers. The book introduces the specialized world of maritime rescue, explaining how different boats are built to handle waves, towing, and emergencies. Through simple text and clear photography, the book explores themes of bravery and helping others. It helps demystify the 'scary' parts of the sea by focusing on the competence of the rescuers and the strength of their machines. Parents will find it a sturdy bridge between pure mechanical fascination and the social-emotional value of service to others, making it a perfect wind-down read for curious explorers aged four to seven.
