They’re Heroes Too

This is a rhyming picture-book celebration of the ordinary people— grownups and kids—who hold our world together with their daily lives and work. We celebrate cops, firefighters, and soldiers, and rightly so. But let’s also celebrate teachers, bus drivers, grocery clerks, mail carriers, and the other folks who give a community its core identity. And let’s give a nod to kids, too—kids who are kind and brave and help each other. They’re heroes too.

 

In structure, flow, and pitch, They’re Heroes Too is very much like Pat Brisson’s Before We Eat (page 80), one of our bestselling picture books. Brisson excels in creating captivating poems of thanks for young kids
