A study of the child’s urge to move and explore, and of the dangers in wait from a baby’s first exploration of its crib to a young cyclist’s first encounter with traffic. Designed to help parents protect children from accidents and guide them safely through the vulnerable years when impulsive curiosity exceeds sense of caution.
