My Mom is a Firefighter

Would you ever imagine having a Mom who is a firefighter and having two families because of her job? Billy’s mom is a firefighter and his second family is the other firefighters at the firehouse. When his mom is working at the firehouse, his dad takes care of him at home. This book by Lois G. Grambling shows all the jobs Billy’s mom does as a firefighter and as a mom. Besides fighting fires,she teaches kids about fire safety and she takes turns cooking at the firehouse. One of the most exciting things Billy’s mom does is drives the great, big ladder fire truck. The illustrator, Jane Manning, has drawn brightly colored pictures in My Mom is a Firefighter (Harper Collins, 2008) that show all the jobs Billy’s mom performs as a firefighter. There are not a lot of women firefighters, but this book shows how Mom's can do anything Dad's can do!
