Review Quotes

Essential workers have been spotlighted in the news, and for good reason. This series profiles the fundamental work of dentists, mail carriers, pilots, farmers, garbage collectors, and nurses. Readers learn where their food comes from, what garbage collectors do with their trash, how their mail is processed, and more. Boldface vocabulary terms are included in the glossary. Short paragraphs on each page are spaced between vivid photos that depict the duties of each profession. Although the images reflect gender and ethnic diversity, they lack representation of people with disabilities. VERDICT Good information is provided, but more representation of diversity is needed.--Natalie Romano, Denver Public Library, CO "School Library Journal"
