Caldecott Award winner Brian Floca gives a heartfelt thank you to the
essential workers who keep their cities going during COVID-19 quarantine
in this tenderly illustrated picture book.
We are here at home now, watching the world through our windows. Outside
we see the city we know, but not as we've seen it before. The once
hustling and bustling streets are empty. Well, almost empty. Around the
city there are still people, some, out and about. These are the people
keeping us safe. Keeping us healthy. Keeping our mail and our food
delivered. Keeping our grocery stores stocked. Keeping the whole city
going. Brian Floca speaks for us all in this stirring homage to all the
essential workers who keep the essentials operating so the rest of us
can do our part by sheltering in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.
