A FREE picture book will help parents and children learn first aid together.

St John Ambulance has launched a new e-book, called The Pen That Lost His Lid, to celebrate the success of the charity’s recent campaign, The Chokeables, which has now been credited with saving the lives of 36 children.

Sue Killen, the charity's chief executive, said: “The success of the campaign has been staggering, with over 7million views in our first few weeks, and we are thrilled that people have got behind the campaign. It’s thanks to them spreading the word that so many people have been able to save a child from choking."
