Job site

Author/illustrator Nathan Clement depicts dramatic scenes from the work world of a construction site, zooming in on the directions of a boss and the workmen operating the machines. Then the boss signals that the job is complete and the machines and workmen drive away, leaving the reader to see the beautiful park that has been created.

“Boss says, ‘Pour a slab.'

And the mixer swing its trough and pours cement.”


I especially enjoyed seeing, in the last panel, a family walking around the park, adults holding hands with a young child wearing a hardhat and safety vest.
