Community Helpers During COVID-19 series - Booklist, Series Nonfiction Showcase

The myriad important jobs of frontline and essential workers are touted in the Community Helpers during COVID-19 series (4 titles). The layout is colorful if basic, with bright borders framing blocks of text and stock photos of diverse community workers wearing masks and other protective gear as they perform their jobs. City Workers covers expected positions, like mail carriers, teachers, and transportation workers, but also mentioned are energy and water workers and community cleaners. Each book begins with a simple explanation of COVID-19 as a pandemic and of community helpers and ends with guided-reading questions for adults to use with children before, during, and after reading. Containing more variety than the average community-helpers series, this series will resonate with recent experiences of young readers and it remains general enough in its COVID-19 coverage so as to not become rapidly outdated.
