Rex is back and he’s ready to ROAR even louder!

A new tool to protect children in communities everywhere is here! The Second Edition & Spanish version of Rex encuentra su rugido is here, helping kids learn how to stay safe and speak up with confidence. Families love this story because it makes tough topics easy for little ones to understand. The CARE Center is excited to share these updates with you, giving children simple, empowering tools to keep their bodies safe.

Why ROAR Matters

ROAR is an award-winning child abuse prevention book  designed for children ages 4–8, using age-appropriate stories and lessons to build a foundation of safety. Key lessons in ROAR include:

  • Understanding body boundaries
  • Identifying safe adults who can help
  • Practicing how to say “no” when something feels wrong

The brand-new Second Edition makes these lessons even more accessible. The story is told through Rex’s own point of view, giving kids a friendly, relatable guide who explains body safety in a way that truly connects with children everywhere. With brighter illustrations, clearer language, and expanded resources for caregivers and educators, this edition is both fun for kids to read and a powerful, practical tool for the adults guiding them.

For the first time ever, Rex encuentra su rugido is also available in Spanish. This milestone ensures Spanish-speaking families can experience Rex’s story in their own language, making vital body safety lessons more inclusive and accessible. With culturally sensitive translation and the same engaging storytelling, this new edition offers children and caregivers an empowering tool to talk about safety together.

A Community Effort

The expansion of ROAR would not be possible without the support of educators, families, and community partners who continue to champion child safety.

To date, The CARE Center has educated over 25,000 children through our child safety program, ROAR. Protecting children is a collective responsibility, and ROAR reflects the strength of a community working together toward a safer future. We’re incredibly proud of our team at The CARE Center for championing this initiative
