Approximately 3 million children are exposed to Gun violence in the US each year. This is a sweet little book on a not so sweet subject.
Gun ownership in urban areas, and handgun use for self defense is at an all time high everywhere in this country. We hear of accidental shootings and
killings of young children every day. Not always in the headlines either, that's how frequent these accidents are.
Run, Run, Run starts the conversation that we need to have with our young children, to give them a sense of control over these situations in a non-threatening way. The characters are cute animals who find themselves in a pickle, and the rhyming text engaging. The story opens the door to more pragmatic gun safety and storage conversations with young children.
What should a child do if they find a gun, best thing is to Run, Run Run and let a grown up know so safety can be assessed and addressed. The author leaves that answer to the parent, caregiver or teacher who is reading with children.
Changing gun culture is a long term issue, but changing our perception to a healthy respect for guns, and their potential to harm our children is needed now more than ever.
