About This Book:
From donning helmets in places where things clatter and clonk to wearing masks around people who cough or chatter, this is a lively look at the many items we wear to stay safe.
We often wear things to protect ourselves in different environments, whether it’s goggles when snorkeling or helmets at the skate park. Sometimes it’s headphones around loud noises, or neon vests when crossing a busy street, or warm gloves in the freezing snow. Whatever the situation calls for, special gear keeps us and others safe. Equal parts fun and informative, with kid-friendly artwork and sound words to engage the youngest readers, this picture book from creator Sarah Finan looks at the gear we wear, from head to toe, that helps us take care when exploring and enjoying the world around us.

Normalize Safety Equipment
What We Wear When We Take Care gives us a glimpse into various safety measures we take to protect our senses. The text and illustrations work perfectly for toddler-preschool readers to educate through simple text and interesting pictures of everyday jobs and recreational activities. I appreciated the inclusivity of people from various religions, minorities, ages, and mask preferences represented. The text and illustrations combine to normalize the idea that we all use safety equipment to help us with our play and work.
