Introducing Paramedic Billy Be Safe and his native bush friends! Join them on an Aussie safety adventure. It’s a very hot day and there are dangers about, but 2-8 year olds will learn how to be extra careful and stay safe - thanks to Billy Be Safe!
During April 2022 publisher Halstead Press produced the first in a series of fun coloured children's Illustrated books based around young Paramedic Billy Be Safe, an ambulance paramedic who helps children.
The first book is Billy Be Safe’s Very Hot Day. One of the story lines focuses on driveway safety given 10 children die annually [and 100 are injured] after being struck by vehicles in their driveways at home.
The first book, rhymes, is colour illustrated and most of all is great fun!
Throughout the series Paramedic Billy helps his young friends who are 'children' in the guise of native wildlife including Jumping June the Kangaroo, Artie Emu, Lydia Lyre Bird, Jackaroo Jem, Timmy Turtle Beau Blue Tongue, Lenny Lorikeet, Charlotte Sugar Glider, Austin Owl, Hannah Honeyeater, Kenny Koala and many more.
The next book in the series has the tentative title of Billy's Big Birthday Bash and centres on Billy saving Lydia Lyre Bird who falls into a pool.
For the first book 50% of all the author's royalties will go the the Georgina Josephine Foundation with the other 50% going to children's charity Compassion.
Across Australia women are increasingly being employed in the various ambulance services. In some states around 40% of the paramedics are women. Becky Be Careful is proud to be a paramedic and loves working with her canine pal Willy Be Wary and Billy of course.
Future editions will cover other road safety issues, pool safety, scalds and other child-related issues. Paramedic Billy Be Safe will be teaming up with Becky Be Careful and their dog Willy Be Wary to have fun and adventure while teaching children the importance of keeping safe in driveways, on roads, around pools and hot water and in the bush in this colourful series of fun illustrated children's books.
