We talk to kids about the dangers of fire, drugs, strangers, drowning, and more—but not about guns. There are hundreds of millions of guns in the United States alone. Despite how polarizing the media and politics have made the topic of firearms, we must talk with our children about guns and firearm safety to protect them and help prevent deaths and injuries. World-champion professional shooter, firearms instructor, and mother Julie Golob helps you start a conversation about firearms with young children. Toys, Tools, Guns & Rules helps parents break the ice with kids on this taboo topic.

Colorful and realistic illustrations inspire essential conversations about guns by:

• Comparing firearms to other potentially dangerous adult tools.
• Exploring the different types of firearms and what can they look like.
• Educating curious minds about how firearms work and the most dangerous parts of a gun.
• Identifying adults children may know who safely and responsibly use firearms.

Toys, Tools, Guns & Rules comes in both English and Spanish in both print and ebook. New in 2024 is a large, read-along edition to share with larger groups of children.

Also inside is a useful guide for parents on how to make the most out of Toys, Tools, Guns & Rules, so that you can answer the questions and establish your own family rules when it comes to firearms. Don’t let the fear of guns or their potential danger keep you from talking about them.
