Keeping the City Going by Caldecott Medal winning author/illustrator Brian Floca is the fourth book up for consideration in our 2022 OPS Picture Book Awards. Created during the lockdown that occurred in New York City at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Keeping the City Going is a tribute to healthcare and other essential workers who stayed on the streets and on the job despite the risk of infection. Written from the perspective of a young child and featuring a mix of detailed watercolor, ink, acrylic, and gouache illustrations, the book is an evocative reminder of the sacrifice many people made to keep New York City going during this difficult period. To enjoy this beautiful picture book, please watch this animated read aloud of Keeping the City Going by Brian Floca:
