⬇️ Author Carol Gordon Ekster shares about their picture book TRUCKER KID.

✨ "This is the perfect picture book for all elementary students, but especially for those who are part of a trucking family or know of one. The book setting is a classroom and Athena is made fun of because of her love for all things trucking because she loves her trucker-dad so much and misses him when he's on the job." 

📚 "This book can also be used to show how attitudes can be changed through education. Athena explains about trucking to her class and they listen and understand, rather than making fun of her. At the end of the story is a list of some effects of what would happen within just a few days if trucks stopped service, and I also wrote an author's note about the trucking family who inspired this story."
