Caldecott Medal winner Brian Floca, does not disappoint with this beautifully illustrated book about keeping the city going during the time of closure because of the COVID pandemic. The pictures help to tell the story of children and families looking our their apartment windows at the eerily quiet city, except for the essential workers who are delivering food, picking up trash, driving taxis, US Post, utilities workers, emergency responders, doctors and nurses ect.

The story ends with the 7PM nightly celebration of pots and pans banging together, people clapping and cheering for our city heroes! This inspirational story with beautifully illustrated pictures is highly recommended.
