Joshua and Stranger Danger is a childrens picture book written by Joan E. Being very concerned about his mum, he is about to leave with the policeman. Before he can regain the safety of the schoolyard, he is stopped by a policeman who informs Joshua his mum is in hospital, having had an accident. He finds himself in a stranger danger situation as he impulsively runs onto the footpath waving goodbye to his friend who is leaving for home with his mum. In the first of the series, author Joan Derrick imbues Joshua with a ‘soul buddy’, or intuitive voice, which warns Joshua of impending danger.

Joshua is waiting for his mum to collect him from school as lessons are finished for the day. Joshua and Stranger Danger is a wonderfully fresh and mature approach to keeping our children safe.
