BUYING ADVISORY: Pre K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
It's the beginning of the pandemic and most people must stay inside and at home. But there are people who need to keep the city going, like the ones who deliver food, and drive trucks and busses, people who work in the grocery stores, or keep the city clean by driving garbage trucks. The mail carriers, package deliverers, the utility workers keep the power, and water and gas and internet working; People like emergency responders and doctors and nurses who keep us healthy and safe. Is there a way to thank them when we can't leave our homes?
Brian Floca's realistic illustrations are so beautiful, this is a love note to all the people who couldn't stay in during the pandemic. The city is obviously New York City, but that doesn't limit the appeal. Every page looks like a snapshot of a street corner, busy with helpers, but without people on the sidewalk going places. I'm so happy to recommend this excellent documentation of the pandemic, perfect even for pre-schoolers.
