Good Night Shift, The
Description
Every night as the sun goes down, Luna turns on Tita's radio and wakes up Mama for her night shift. Over the course of one bedtime, Luna discovers all the people in her neighborhood whose work helps her community thrive, from the street sweeper to the train conductor to her own mother, an emergency room doctor.
This beautifully written picture book provides a behind the scene look into how a community keeps running after dark! With a focus on a multigernerational household and overlooked night shift workers, this is a timely reminder to young readers about the people who keep them safe and sound.
Romy Natalia Goldberg's engaging text was inspired by her sister, an emergency medicine doctor who works the night shift, and is gorgeously realized by acclaimed illustrator Isabel Roxas, whose work has been praised as, "lively," and "joyous."
The perfect book to place on your shelf beside Thank You, Omu, Last Stop on Market Street, and While You're Asleep.
