Lady B Spots Trouble

Lady B Spots Trouble
Volume 1 of the Allowed to Say NO! Series

Safety is a tricky business.

Jesse, an adventurous boy of 5, meets Lady B, a feisty karate-chopping but safety-conscious ladybug, on his Wishing Spot - the first branch of his backyard oak tree. Jesse longs to heroically pilot submarines, planes, air balloons and helicopters in search of deep-sea treasures, dragons, volcanos and waterfalls. Sometimes it's dangerous, and his instincts tell him when something is unsafe; the same feeling he gets when his neighbour hugs him too long. Jesse and Lady B navigate these adventures - not just with lifejackets and seatbelts - but with the secret power of instinct.

Who to talk to in these worry moments? Jesse sits on Granny's red kitchen stool and listens when she says, "Feelings are like the wind.
