This timely, rhyming picture book highlights the everyday heroes who make it possible for society to continue to function during this time of crisis – including diverse representations of mail carriers, teachers, grocery store workers, doctors, truck drivers, maintenance staff, and caretakers. The story ends with a reminder that when children wash their hands and follow pandemic guidelines, they themselves are heroes, too. Written from the perspective of a young child spending time indoors, the story focuses on the incredible individuals who continue to contribute their time, effort, and resources to ensure that life can continue to go on. With beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations offset with large-print text, this story is a must-read for all ages.

Eliana Melmed, Author
Eliana is a senior at the University of Chicago studying Public Policy with a minor in Media, Arts, and Design.

In her free time, she likes making lists in her bullet-journal and organizing things into small containers.

She hopes that her book inspires children and adults alike to spend a little bit more time recognizing and thanking their heroes.
