  "A fun, uplifting adventure woven with heart, wisdom, and a dash of discovery...A must-have for families, educators, and therapists working with neurodivergent children." -The Prairies Book Review  
  This audiobook edition of Aydin Stays Safe was created with accessibility in mind. It includes audio descriptions of the illustrations, allowing listeners to fully experience the story’s visuals through detailed narration that highlights safe versus unsafe exploration. 
  Aydin is a sweet boy who loves adventures, especially when he gets to bring his best friend, Sam. But sometimes his curiosity can be dangerous when he isn't safe.  
  Aydin sees the world differently, and he learns differently, too. He might put things in his mouth to understand them better, like a flower. He loves animals, so he might approach a dog, even when it might not be as friendly as Sam. He loves to watch the cars, bikes, and trucks that pass him by, but it's dangerous to get too close.  
  With the help of his trusty canine companion, and of course, his parents, Aydin learns that adventuring is even more fun when everyone stays safe!  
  Aydin Stays Safe was designed with accessibility in mind. With easy-to-read text and side-by-side illustrations that clearly contrast safe versus unsafe exploration, Aydin Stays Safe makes learning fun and engaging for every reader.  
  When author Z.Z. Özra decided to write a picture book, she didn't have to look far for inspiration. Aydin Stays Safe was created for her son who is autistic with additional needs and the story is based on his past experiences. It is a book that she hopes will help other children like Aydin, understand which types of playful exploration are risky or safe.  
  Join Aydin and Sam the poodle as they learn how to explore the world safely-one adventure at a time.
