Description

Spend a day in the life of 12 emergency service workers


Have you ever wondered what equipment a fire fighter 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 4,000-metre-high peak

Meet 12 real-life emergency service workers from across the world as they share with you a day in their life. Based on the viral Tetris Challenge, this book gives a birds eye view of all the equipment needed to do their jobs, alongside comic strip panels to offer a fascinating insight of life on the front line. Taking you to the heart of the heroes who help us, from Cecilia the Nurse and Koen the Lifeguard to Tamika the Veterinarian and Nick the Police Officer, this uplifting non-fiction picture book showcases the amazing work they do, the incredible skills they have and the important equipment they need to save a life.

Reviews

This book would be a welcome addition to a school or public library. * ReadPlus *
The unique graphic novel style presents readers with concise and easy to understand accounts of a day in the life of each worker; a brief storyboard of them at work plus a facing page dedicated to the kit they require to perform their duties. I loved searching for my most important within the charming illustrations. Readers are never talked down to. * CBCA: Reading Time *
