This is going to be a great book to read this year with my class. Brian Floca always creates beauty and he did it again with this book. I loved his references to the people cheering for front line workers every evening (I had forgot!) and how it felt as we all looked out and saw just a few people while we stayed inside. He even mentions the toilet paper issues (not that there were issues....only with people thinking there'd be issues and buying it all up!) I will never forget going to the grocery store and seeing row upon row of empty shelves. It was bizarre and kind of scary if I thought about it for too long.
Goodreads says:
Brian Floca gives a thank you to the essential workers who keep their cities going during COVID-19 quarantine.
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.
