This very colorful picture book introduces and reminds children of all the helpers and first responders out there, ready to help them and their families, animal friends and neighbors.  In addition to the expected firefighters and police, it includes teachers, National Guard, rescue dogs, ski patrol, lifeguards, Forest Rangers, and more.

Illustrations are very bold, colorful and simple. The end of the book includes a list of emergency supplies, and information to call 911.  This would be a great family read, to help children realize all the helpers out there, and how to try to be prepared for emergencies.
