Robert Kahn has a Master's Degree in Education. It was during Kahn's tenure as a sixth grade teacher that he became concerned about the safety issues that involve children and decided to become a Deputy Sheriff to help educate and protect our youth from harm. He started a Stranger Danger program in local schools and community service organizations. Local law enforcement credits this program in foiling over 40 attempted abductions by strangers. To date, Robert has given over 20,000 presentations covering 15 different topics on children's safety issues. He also taught the Too Safe For Strangers Programto other officers in the state so they could use it in their communities. All of his books are told in the voice of his own children, Bobby and Mandee! Kahn's daughter Mandee is the main character although Bobby plays a very important role in the books. As a high-functioning autistic, "If he can understand the books, anybody can!" Kahn stresses the books simplicity so that anyone can benefit from them.

Using simple language, the books introduce the concepts and then provide tips on how to deal with them.
