The Top Job

Reach for this book when your child feels a little shy about your family's background or needs a reminder that every job, no matter how unusual, has immense value. This story follows a young girl on Career Day who is nervous that her father's job as a light bulb changer at the top of the Empire State Building won't sound as impressive as her classmates' parents who are bankers or doctors. Through a breathtaking trip to the very top of the skyscraper, she discovers the pride, bravery, and unique perspective her father's work provides. It is a beautiful exploration of the bond between fathers and daughters, the dignity of labor, and finding wonder in the everyday. Perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who are beginning to navigate social comparison and school presentations.
