Back before the internet had been invented, and just after I was born, Tibor Gergely wrote Busy Day, Busy People. Rory Conlan tells me that he literally spent hours reading me that book. It's the first book I ever "read" although it seems more likely with a little bit of hindsight that I had probably just memorized the words that were associated with the fantastic illustrations that went with the storyline.
For reasons that I can't quite put my finger on, I remembered that book today during my afternoon walk and wondered if it might be time for an update and republishing effort. It's a great book for kids, and I really loved every page of it.
From the book, I remember the farmer and the policeman, the firefighter, and the steam shovel operator.

| Busy Day, Busy People |
From the book, I remember the farmer and the policeman, the firefighter, and the steam shovel operator.
Today on my walk as I passed the postman, the crane operator, the concrete saw operator, the policeman, the office of the politician, the landscaper, the fork truck operator, the window washer, and the tour guide I was reminded to appreciate the fantastic place where we live.
