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.

Reviews for What We Wear When We Take Care

Finan’s minimal yet energetic text conveys information effectively; it’s easy to imagine preschoolers acting out the text, using safety equipment as props. For each piece of equipment, we see adults and children alike at work and at play. Dynamic hand-painted, digitally colored art uses a pleasing palette of neon yellow and multiple shades of blue. . . . Rudimentary information in a perfect package. —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A fine introduction to the many ways we can stay safe. —The Horn Book
