"A behind-the-scenes look at how workers deemed "essential" helped society during the COVID-19 crisis, from grocery and pharmacy employees, to front-line healthcare workers"--

COVID-19 has shut down most people's normal lives. But grocery stores are still open, mail is still delivered, and restaurants are offering meals via delivery. None of this would be possible without the people who are still going to work every day, exposing themselves to the virus so that others can stay home. Most importantly, healthcare workers are doing all they can--putting their own lives at risk--to treat and save those who have contracted the disease. In this book, readers will get inspired by the real-life heroes of one of the largest health crises in human history.

"Dear Essential Workers," is a thank you note to the heroes and helpers of COVID-19 geared toward preschool and elementary school-aged kids. While most children are taught that first responders are heroes, COVID-19 has highlighted others who also play a pivotal role in our community. Through melodic rhyming and colorful illustrations, each page depicts who these essential workers are, how they help and the importance of expressing gratitude to them.

Health-care workers were on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic, saving lives and searching for effective treatments. Other workers, such as grocery clerks and delivery people, also found themselves on the front lines as the rest of society stayed home as much as possible to slow the disease’s spread. Frontline Heroes examines these and other people who faced danger as they continued working to keep the rest of society safe.
