Always Fly Away

A Children's Safety Book

Words to Learn

To Soar means that a bird or a plane rides on the wind, wings stretched out but not flapping.  Where would you go if you could soar anywhere you wanted?

Secluded means that there is a place set apart from busy people.  The woods are secluded, a backyard can be secluded, and even a person, who moves far away from others, can be secluded.  Can you name a place that is secluded?  (This can be anywhere quiet and not easily found--someone's favorite reading spot, a camp site, or under the blankets.)

A Plight is a problem that has to be figured out!  But not like a math problem.  A plight can be deciding between playing a game and doing your chores, or being asked a tough question that you have to answer.  Name a plight and what you think the best solution would be!  (For example, telling the truth when asked whether you've brushed your teeth, or if a friend is doing something wrong and you have to decide whether or not to do the right thing.)
