What happens when a child faces an emergency and no adult is around?
Every day, children encounter situations - a fall, a fire, a friend who stops breathing - where a fast, calm response can mean the difference between life and death. Yet most kids are never taught what to do.
Kids to the Rescue changes that.
Written by Janis P. Walker, a registered nurse with over 50 years of experience in surgery, organ transplant teams, crisis intervention, and grief counseling, this book gives children - and the adults who care for them - a clear, compassionate guide to handling real emergencies with confidence.
This isn't just another safety book. Janis's vision is bigger: kids teaching kids. Using this book as their primary tool, children can learn to lead their peers through emergency and crisis situations, building skills that could one day save a life.
Inside, you'll discover:
- How to prepare children emotionally before an emergency strikes
- Step-by-step guidance for handling crisis situations calmly and effectively
- How to help kids understand and process their feelings before, during, and after an emergency
- A framework for teaching child-led rescue training in schools, homes, and youth programs
Children are our greatest investment. Give them the tools to protect themselves - and each other.

I have been in the nursing field for 50 years, specifically surgery for 45 years, caring for children and adults and have brought many of my consulting skills to the surgical arenas and corporations. I have worked on organ retrieval teams and counseled families of donors. I have worked on open heart, heart, and lung transplant teams and other organ transplants, along with helping those families cope with their grief. For the last 50 years, I have been actively involved in grief counseling for kids and adults. I am a crisis intervention specialist and have counseled troubled teens and adults in detention centers and prisons. Many of my therapy sessions have been working with abused women and children, child molesters, rapists, and convicted murderers. Feel free to visit my website: www.ultimatedynamics.com or www.janiswalker.com. I have written a book called "Kids To The Rescue" and have an interactive CD for training purposes. It targets kids 3 to 9 years old. Many lives can be saved through the proper use of this book. It's about kids saving kids lives. My intention and goals are to have kids conduct a course teaching kids how to rescue kids and adults using the book as the primary tool.
