The sky is getting dark. In the city, a little girl is eating her dinner, brushing her teeth, and getting ready for bed. Meanwhile, her mother is putting on her coat and getting ready to go to work. Where is she going and who will she see along the way? As the night goes on, readers will see nurses, cleaners, delivery workers, doctors, police officers, journalists, and many other workers who help keep the city running all through the night.

Why I like this book: All Through the Night: Important Jobs that Get Done at Night is a book about blue-collar jobs. It shows a woman working as a night bus driver and teaches children what happens “behind the scenes” while they’re sleeping.
