Red Light, Red Light

Red Light, Red Light, please turn green!

Oliver is late for school. Again. Every morning it's the same story: he and Dad set off with plenty of time, and every single traffic light on the way turns red just as they arrive. By the time Oliver walks through the classroom door, the bell has already rung.

His teacher, Mrs. Owen, isn't upset. She has a question instead: "Did you ask the red lights to turn green?"

Oliver hadn't thought of that. So the next morning, he tries. He asks nicely. He asks loudly. He makes up a song. And the lights start to listen.

Based on a real father-and-son drive to school, Red Light, Red Light is a sing-along picture book about a small kid solving a big problem with persistence, politeness, and a little bit of magic. Kids will be chanting the refrain by the second page, and parents will find their own morning commute has turned into an adventure.

Perfect for ages 3 to 7, bedtime reading, first-day-of-school jitters, and anyone who has ever been stuck at a red light.

Inside you'll find:

• A rhythmic, repeat-after-me refrain kids love to shout
• Bright, full-page illustrations on every spread
• Gentle themes of determination, patience, and manners
• A story that invites families to make up their own red light song

Don't forget to try it on your next drive. We did.
