NOTES

All profits from this book go to window fall prevention. This is an engaging book for kids under 7 years old and gives valuable information to parents about how to keep their kids safe. The author, Becca Cunningham, wrote this book after having a personal experience with window falls. In 2010, one of her three-year old sons fell from his second-story bedroom window during nap time. He landed on his head on the concrete below and suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. He was temporarily paralyzed on the left side, spent 5 weeks in the hospital and then a year doing out-patient and in-home therapy. Because of this trying and traumatic experience, Becca and her husband, Jason became active members of the Stop at 4 Window Fall Prevention campaign in Portland, Oregon. In hopes of preventing others from what they endured, she has written this book. Every parent of a child under 7-years old should read, If Kids Could Float!
