From a young age, I knew we\u2019d have to talk about interacting with strangers \u2014 early and often. I aim to be more free range in my parenting, so I knew I would have to equip him with the skills to deal with strangers if I wasn\u2019t right beside him. Of course, books were the first place I turned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>You may also enjoy these <a href=\"https:\/\/feministbooksforkids.com\/childrens-books-about-body-boundaries\/\" data-lasso-id=\"8895\" target=\"_blank\">Books About Body Boundaries!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finding a good book about \u201cstranger danger\u201d is tricky. We don\u2019t want our kids to end up in a dangerous situation, but we also want them to know who they can turn to if they find themselves alone and needing help. The topic is more nuanced than \u201cdon\u2019t talk to strangers.\u201d It involves identifying safe people and coming up with a plan for possible scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>These books about strangers strike a healthy balance between caution and compassion. I highly recommend reading them with your kids as part of a larger discussion about personal safety. Start talking about these things early, and review them often!<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> The one hesitation that I have with the books on this list is that they do a pretty awful job of representing people who aren\u2019t white. However, from what I can tell, diverse books about dealing with strangers simply do not exist. I hope that publishers will work to fill in this representation gap in children\u2019s books.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/feministbooksforkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Books-About-Strangers.png\" alt=\"Books About Strangers\" class=\"wp-image-8945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.feministbooksforkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Books-About-Strangers.png 600w, https:\/\/www.feministbooksforkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Books-About-Strangers-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.feministbooksforkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Books-About-Strangers-480x720.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.feministbooksforkids.com\/disclosure\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"555\" target=\"_blank\">Book links are referral links.

It differentiates between safe strangers like police officers and strangers children should be wary of, and the story is told in a truthful but not scary way. I recommend it for kids ages three and up.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Berenstain_Bears_Learn_About_Strangers_by_Jan_and_Stan_Berenstain\"\/><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2fpjtGv\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"8900\"><em>The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers<\/em><\/a><\/strong> by Jan and Stan Berenstain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/5773\/9780394873343\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.feministbooksforkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/berenstain-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.feministbooksforkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/berenstain-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.feministbooksforkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/berenstain-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.feministbooksforkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/berenstain.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>There\u2019s a Berenstain Bears book for just about everything.
