Bingham Author releases second book: ‘How can we all stay safe?’ 

28/09/2025 by Digital Media

Chrissy Sanderson and illustrator Roger Parker have just released their second book – ‘How can we all stay safe?’ for ages between 2 years and 8 years. 

It is Chrissy’s intention to share this story to all the local infant and junior schools in Bingham as she strongly feels this story is a must for young children as it encourages them not to accept things like sweets, toys, or ice-cream from strangers and to definitely not get into a stranger’s car! 

Personal safety – “It is not an easy topic to discuss with children as you do not want to frighten them but at the same time you want them to have an awareness that if they do not feel safe then it is OK to shout NO as loud as they can and to go and tell someone what has happened” says Chrissy.   

The whole point of the story, whilst sensitively written and beautifully illustrated with animals, is to develop the children’s confidence to say NO and to understand that it is OK to go and tell someone if they ever feel unsafe.  

Chrissy’s husband is very proud of her achievements as he was the first to purchase the book from Amazon.co.uk.  Chrissy said: “There was a very loud knock at the front door and my husband jumped up suddenly and dashed to see who it was. Then there was a lot of rustling of paper being ripped. My husband then stepped into the kitchen, with the biggest smile, holding the first copy of our second book. It is an incredible feeling seeing our book published but more importantly, it is our hope that as many children as possible hear the important message about staying safe.” 

The great news is that Iris Blue (Shop located in Eaton Place,  Bingham) and Dizzyware Toys (Gift shop located in the Old Post Office Yard, Bingham) have both kindly offered to sell signed copies of the book so that the important message gets into the hands of the local young children. 

Chrissy is pleased to advise that not only is the story a very important message for the children to hear but also at the back of the book there are 10 questions for the children to develop their memory skills and use of questioning techniques. Also, an added bonus in this book is coloured, page numbered word lists and instructions on how to do the “Grabby word game” which her husband played to help their children develop their word recognition which in turn helped them improve their reading skills.
