Annie and the Waves

"Annie and her family are going to the beach for a holiday. Two surf lifesavers had visited Annies school and she had learnt a lot about how to stay safe in the water. Annie soon discovers that the sea is changeable. She is initially wary of the waves but after meeting the lifesavers, and with the help of her Dad, Annie soon discovers the joys of swimming in the sea. Annie's confidence grows until she experiences a surging wave, a wave that drags her into deep water. Will she remember how to tell the surf life savers she needs help?" Back Cover

Annie and the Waves

Annie and the Waves is a book aimed to teach children and their caregivers about how to stay safe at the beach. As you read this book you will learn: Surf lifesavers wear red and yellow You should always swim between the red and yellow flags Some beaches are safer than others There are different kinds of waves, some are safer than others If you get into trouble, stay calm and raise your hand to show the surf lifesavers you need help. Be sun safe at the beach. Wear a hat and a rashie and don't forget to put on sunscreen before you go out in the sun And..... You should never go into the water alone!
