凯迪克奖得主布莱恩•弗洛卡在这本充满温情的图画书中向那些在COVID-19隔离期间维持城市运转的重要工作者表达了衷心的感谢。

我们现在就在家里，通过窗户观察外面的世界。我们在外面看到了我们熟悉的城市，但不是我们以前看到的那样。曾经熙熙攘攘的街道已经空无一人。嗯，几乎是空的。不过，在城市的各个地方，仍有一些人，外出活动。这些人保护了我们的安全和健康，保障了邮件和食物的派送，让杂货店保持足够的库存。他们维持着整座城市的运转。

在这本鼓舞人心的绘本中，布莱恩•弗洛卡代表我们所有人向所有必不可少的工作人员表达了敬意，因为他们维持了日常生活的运转，我们其他人才得以在COVID-19大流行期间就地隔离，来尽自己的一份力量。

Caldecott Award winner Brian Floca gives a heartfelt thank you to the essential workers who keep their cities going during COVID-19 quarantine in this tenderly illustrated picture book.

We are here at home now, watching the world through our windows. Outside we see the city we know, but not as we’ve seen it before. The once hustling and bustling streets are empty. Well, almost empty. Around the city there are still people, some, out and about. These are the people keeping us safe. Keeping us healthy. Keeping our mail and our food delivered. Keeping our grocery stores stocked. Keeping the whole city going. Brian Floca speaks for us all in this stirring homage to all the essential workers who keep the essentials operating so the rest of us can do our part by sheltering in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.
