Produktbeschreibung
Twins Madison and Mia are on a day out with their parents in the busy city when they spot a police officer and inquire about what they do. They learn that, in addition to keeping people safe and helping during emergencies, police officers interact daily with the people in their community and represent many different cultures. This wonderfully diverse story shows some police officers wearing a turban or hijab, while others interact by speaking Spanish or other native languages of the community. The story's young character is happy to share, "I can see a police officer who looks just like me. She is brown-skinned with curly hair and dark eyes." The story reiterates that a community is made up of people from all over the world, like a tapestry; and that it's important that the police officers can connect with the citizens in their community.
