"The traffic light shifts to (child's name) walking. This is our key - all pedestrians are flocking. Look left, then right, then left to be sure, Mommy does it with you to keep us secure. Don't expect cars to drive a certain way, Stay alert and Street Smart every single day."
New York Police Officer Robert Longo offers insights that teach kids how to navigate streets safely. "Street Smart also promotes the global campaign 'Stop, Look, Wave' to keep children safe. It all comes together with upbeat rhymes and colorful illustrations of busy city scenes. This is a storytime favorite that you'll want to return to!

Becca Sofia is a writer, illustrator, mom, and former Senior Horologist with extensive knowledge of watch authentication and strategy. She was born in Sweden, studied Business Communication in Australia, and lives in the U.S. Becca loves skiing on fresh powder days in the Rocky Mountains, playing the piano, and dancing in colorful costumes. "Street Smart" is her second children's book, which aims to empower children while keeping them safe around traffic. The idea for the book came to her while she was walking the streets of Manhattan with her young son, inventing playful rhymes to keep him entertained and safe. She replaced "walking man" with "walking Max" or "walking human." One day, another mom stopped Becca and asked where she had learned that from, and the idea for the book was born. Becca's goal as an author is to spread the love of reading and to build support around parenting. Follow Becca on Instagram at beccasofiabooks or email books@littleandbig.com.
