Work: Interviews with People Doing Jobs They Love by Shana Feinberg. Illustrated by Julia Rothman.

 


Work: Interviews with People Doing Jobs They Love by Shana Feinberg. Illustrated by Julia Rothman.
Candlewick Press, 2024. Children's picture book. Nonfiction.

In a series of interviews with people from around the world, the author and illustrator let the workers tell of their interesting jobs. This is NOT your average doctor, lawyer, nurse, teacher set of jobs either! Vegan butchers, alpaca farmers, muralists, surfers, candlestick makers, and bagel makers are among the twenty-eight interviewees. The author and illustrator even include themselves! The oversized book features full color, double paged spreads with realistic illustrations. It is indexed and has questions that lead young readers to think more deeply about themselves. While it might date the book, the only thing missing is a contact page in case readers would like to purchase handmade items or visit shops of the workers.
