This colourful book begins with a little girl preparing for bedtime and farewelling her mother who is leaving for work. Many other night workers are introduced, providing insight into a busy city with occupations that don’t stop overnight. Some of these include Sammy the cleaner, Hassan and Amina the police officers, Kisi the news reporter, Ravi the delivery driver, Dani and Todd the paramedics and many more.  Yet who will be revealed as the driver of the big orange bus, seen on every spread transporting people across the city?

This delightful book should be included in every library, and is particularly useful in creating a new angle on the much-loved K-2 explorations about Community Helpers.

There is a QR code on the inside cover which links to a free audio reading of the book.
