Summary

In the picture book Life Savers, author Eryl Nash and illustrator Ana Albero invite children to spend a day with real-life emergency service heroes . . . and be inspired to make a difference!

Have you ever wondered what equipment a firefighter takes into a blazing fire? Or what tools a surgeon uses to perform a life-saving operation? Or what gear a mountain rescuer needs on a 13,000-foot-high peak? Meet real-life emergency service workers from across the world as they share with you a day in their lives. Taking you to the heart of the heroes who help us, from Cecilia the Nurse and Koen the Lifeguard to Tamika the Veterinarian, this uplifting nonfiction picture book showcases the amazing work they do, the incredible skills they have, and the important equipment they need to save a life.

A book that opens up opportunities for young readers to talk about interesting careers, diversity, and positive role models, with a foreword by the New York Fire Department’s first Black, female deputy chief Tonya Boyd! Illustrated by Little People, Big Dreams series artist Ana Albero, these charming depictions of everyday heroes show that the future of our world starts here . . . with you!

“Bright, eye-catching illustrations—along with photographs—capture details from the lives of these heroes . . . An excellent addition to nonfiction collections for children, sure to inspire young readers to explore these and other lifesaving careers.” —Booklist
