About the Author

Pat began working in children's publishing more years ago than she cares to remember and is currently Editorial Director at Caterpillar Books in the UK. She has written about all kinds of things from trees and bees to abcs (and she loves to rhyme).

Born in 1974, Michael has been drawing pictures ever since he could pick up a Burnt Sienna crayon and scribble all over the new wallpaper. Nowadays, he tends to use pencils, paper, and a Mac. When he's not drawing pictures or solving mysteries, he lives in Surrey, with his lovely wife Alice, his two crazy kids Noah and Matilda, and an imaginary dog. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2020

I bought more than one copy of this book and gave them out to all the children who are experiencing this moment of history; however, there was something I didn’t realize before I gave them away. In this seemingly perfect book about honoring heroes of the pandemic, there was NOT ONE POLICE OFFICER OR FIREMAN mentioned. Not one. Not even in the pictures. That’s just disgraceful, and I wish I could return all the books. Those men and women deserve a spot in that book just like the janitors, and anyone else who has been working around the clock to help people during this pandemic and it’s shameful that they weren’t mentioned. Sad!

I purchased this book for a 4 year old. It's a scary world out there for her and many others. I was hoping this book would be a way to let her know that there are people out there that work to keep us safe and to care for us, and the people we love. How truly disappointing to read this book and find there was no representation of police officers. I will not recommend this book.

Sad and disappointed!

We ordered this book for my 3 year old grandson, whose father happens to be a police officer. We were very upset to learn several other community helpers were left out of this book, such as police officers, firemen and military just to name a few. I will not support the cause "Americares". We will be sending it back for a refund.

What about the others?

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020

Not to discredit the heroes referenced in the book (they absolutely are heroes), but shouldn't cops and firefighters be in this as well? These people go out and risk their lives everyday for our community not knowing if they will ever make it back home to their families. They should absolutely be in this book. This saddens me that books are being written for children to not understand the value of this profession in our communities. I get the social injustice going on, but at the end of the day there are police officers who absolutely protect and serve us. As a daughter of a retired firefighter, my father almost lost his life several times saving others, so I find this book to be disheartening.

What a wonderful book!

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2020

This is a wonderful book for helping kids celebrate the essential workers who have helped them, their families, and everyone of us to stay healthy and safe. As a pediatric occupational therapist in NYC where the COVID-19 pandemic first escalated, I appreciate the simplicity and honesty of this lovingly written and illustrated book and know that my clients and their families will cherish it for years to come.

Disappointed in representation

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020

I thought this book would include all helpers in our community. I am grateful to the helpers they did mention in the book, but what about the other helpers that go out and risk their lives for us every day (police and firefighters)? My dad is a police officer and it just felt like a big disrespect to an entire community and job field of people by not including them in this book. I would not recommend if you want something that includes everyone.

Typical liberal propaganda

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021

Apparently janitors and UPS drivers are heroes, but cops aren't. Not surprising in this day and age.
