Lauren’s Kingdom…A Children’s Book About Finding Your Voice

Lauren’s Kids works to teach children about personal safety from a place of fun…not fear! And that’s just what Lauren Book has done in her first children’s picture book: Lauren’s Kingdom. 

Little Lauren lives with her loving family in a small stone house by the sea. Her radiant smile and sweet disposition warm the hearts of everyone…but things change when a babysitter arrives. Lauren is afraid of the bigger, stronger nanny’s touching and becomes quiet and sad. But, with the help of her friend Rodney, Lauren finds the courage to use her voice.  Together, they learn an important lesson for children everywhere: If you’re choking back tears and your heart’s filled with fears…you know very well, it’s OK to tell.

Lauren’s Kingdom also includes one of Lauren’s Kids’ Safer, Smarter Kids activities, encouraging children to establish a “Trusted Triangle,” three grown-up buddies they can go to when they feel unsafe, sad, or just not quite right.

Book critics and child protection advocates alike have been quick to praise Lauren’s Kingdom for its positive message and ability to teach children about personal safety.

“Lauren has made a beautiful book with a crucial message for kids – if something doesn’t feel right to you, speak up, and don’t be ashamed. And I hope that parents reading it to their children will remember something too: listen.” – Harold S. Koplewicz, MD, President of the Child Mind Institute

Lauren will be in New York City for the book release on March 7th and then she will travel across Florida signing copies of the book and promoting the message of child abuse prevention set forth by her foundation. You can order Lauren’s Kingdom online or find it anywhere children’s books are sold. 100% of the proceeds from the book will benefit the Lauren’s Kids Foundation and the fight for child abuse prevention here in Florida and across the country.
