[LM_NET] ELEM: help me stay safe

[Johanna Halbeisen <johanna.newsong@RCN.COM>]

I had a second grader ask me for a book about staying safe.  It took 
me several rounds of questions to find out what he wanted, and I 
don't think I got it all even yet.  The boy is African American and 
he lives in a city that has that euphemism "inner city", poor people 
of color.  What I have so far is how to stay out of fights with 
people who are older than you.  I have some books about conflict 
resolution, but it is more peer to peer.  Not sure it addresses what 
he needs.

Any ideas?  Any books that might help?

Thanks!
Johanna
