Emily has a fever. Emily's mom goes to the drugstore and vanishes on the way. Brother Billy is arrested, tossed in jail and disappears. And Emily's dad - he's camping, he's in jail, he's in the hospital, he's in a daze. He's no help. What's a girl to do? Strange things are happening throughout the town. Big Broom trucks prowl the streets. Kids cry for Tiny Toy dogs. Shops go bankrupt. But not the Bug Bakery where people stand in line to get a muffin. Eggman's plan is working great. But he hadn't counted on an adversary from the past, Blitzen, a little wooden man from Ireland, making himself at home in Emily's house. Blitzen could ruin Eggman's plan Eggman's going to have to get rid of Blitzen for his brilliant plan to succeed. Emily calls the little wooden man 'Uncle Blitzen' and will do anything to protect him. If Eggman's going to be rid of Blitzen he'll have to deal with Emily first.

We humans are born to be full of life, expressing all different parts of ourselves through creativity while building a vibrant world together. The current world of work deadens this human potential by only valuing that which adds to abstract economic indicators and deprives us of the time and space to contribute in ways that are meaningful and empowering. Why Work? shows us how we can change our policies, take action directly in our communities to carve out the space for us to reclaim our humanity, and engage in activities that reward our deeper needs, our communities and our planet as a whole. This is the Why of Work.
