When Grandma suddenly collapses, young Mia doesn't panic-she becomes a superhero. She calls for help, stays calm, and does exactly what she practiced in school. In Mia the Superhero: Mia Saves Grandma - A CPR Story for Kids, this brave girl proves that heroes come in all sizes.
This empowering picture book for Pre-K through elementary readers is a gentle CPR story for kids that shows children how to recognize an emergency, call 911, get an adult fast, and stay with the person who needs help. Written in kid-friendly language, it turns a scary moment into a health and safety book for kids that focuses on courage, calm, and doing the right thing. It reads like a superhero book for kids and a touching grandparent and grandchild story all in one.
Children who love girl superhero books will see Mia use her "superpowers" to help Grandma while waiting for grown-ups and EMS. Along the way, kids learn simple "I can help" steps that support emergency preparedness for kids without trying to turn them into medical professionals.
Inside the book, you'll find:
- A reassuring story where Mia watches Grandma collapse and uses her helper steps: call 911, get help, stay calm, and perform compressions.
- Simple, age-appropriate awareness of compression-only CPR ("push hard and fast in the center of the chest") explained as helping while waiting for adults.
- Practice lines kids can repeat: "My grandma fell. She's not waking up. We need help." - perfect for a kids book about calling 911.
- Faith- and family-centered encouragement about loving and protecting the people you care about-especially grandparents.
- An activity section with conversation starters, role-play prompts, safety practice sheets, word searches, coloring pages, and scavenger hunts to help kids remember what to do.
