Good Morning City

Long before the city wakes, many people are hard at work to ensure that the city is ready when everyone starts their day. The newspaper carriers, bakers, delivery truck drivers, and garbage crew work all hours to ensure that the city runs smoothly. This beautifully illustrated picture book opens with the moon still shining in the sky and follows the city through the early morning as sunlight pours into the room of a young girl. Suitable for K-9, the picture book would be an engaging read-aloud to launch discussion of community, responsibility, and goals, and prompt inquiry into responsibilities in a community necessary to create and maintain a safe place where people want to live.
