Booklist - 06/01/2022 In this collective biography of incredible, lifesaving figures, a foreword by Chief Tonya Boyd, the first Black female deputy chief of the New York City Fire Department, invites young readers to reach for their dreams of being a lifesaver. Each of 11 profiled individuals has two pages dedicated to them, with their name, location, and information about their everyday life and profession. Illustrations depict important activities they might encounter on the job, and another page is dedicated to the tools they need to help others. Readers will meet a pediatric nurse from Spain, a veterinarian from New York, a flying doctor from Australia, and many others, while bright, eye-catching illustrations—along with photographs—capture details from the lives of these heroes. Additional information about other community lifesavers is included, along with recommended websites. An excellent addition to nonfiction collections for children, sure to inspire young readers to explore these and other lifesaving careers. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
