Who Is My Crossing Guard?: A Rhyming Children's Book About Crossing Guards, Safety, and Everyday Heroes

Crossing guards do so much more than hold stop signs…

They are the first friendly face kids see in the morning and the last one when heading home. Rain or shine, snow or wind, they stand at busy intersections to make sure children cross safely with smiles and confidence.

In this cheerful rhyming picture book, children will discover that crossing guards:

✅ Keep students safe while crossing streets near schools
✅ Teach important rules like “stop, look both ways, and listen”
✅ Work through sunshine, rain, snow, and windy days
✅ Smile, wave, and encourage kids each morning
✅ Know families and neighbors by name, offering kindness and care
✅ Are real people with hobbies, families, and lives outside their post
✅ Deserve gratitude and respect for protecting children daily

✨ Who Is My Crossing Guard? is part of the “Who Is My…?” series, celebrating the everyday heroes in a child’s life — from teachers and bus drivers to librarians, custodians, nurses, and more.

This book helps kids see that safety and kindness go hand in hand — and reminds them to appreciate the people who look out for them each day.
