A young girl stops to call out all the sights and sounds on her morning trip to pre-school, but that’s not what makes her late—it is her dad’s goodbye hug.Kate was late for preschool, but not for the reasons you might expect. It wasn’t because her daddy brushed her hair into poofs, or because they slowed to say hello to neighbors on the way to the bus stop. It wasn’t even because she had to wave to all the trucks, cars, and street cleaners on the road. No, Kate was late because just after they arrived at school, her daddy swooped in to give her a great big goodbye hug that lasted a very long time. Janice N. Harrington is the Ezra Jack Keats Award winning author of Going North. With Hurry Kate or You’ll be Late, she has teamed up with illustrator Tiffany Rose to create a delightful picture book about a vehicle obsessed girl and her very patient father.

"This inaugural entry in a series focused on women workers opens and closes with a cheer that should rev up young audiences: "Hey, yo!/ Firefighter Flo!/ You're a hero!/ You're a pro!" Zimmerman's rhyming narration remains at a fever pitch as Flo, a firefighter portrayed with brown skin, rouses the firehouse crew, portrayed with varying skin tones, in the middle of the night: "The smoke is thick!/ Flames have spread!/ Come on, crew. Out of bed!" With percussive onomatopoeia pumping up the action, Flo drives the team to a burning house, and leads their response efforts ("The water rushed. The hoses gushed. SSSSHHHHH!"). When Flo spots a frantic dog still trapped inside the building, she breaks through the door with an axe, and as the fire roars around her and the building starts to collapse, she gets the pooch to safety. Yaccarino's punchy graphics are in full force, employing lots of eye-catching red and black as well as some terrific visual winks (the firefighters wear matching red plaid pajamas in the firehouse, and their dalmatian's spots are Ben-Day dots). The story ends with a good night wind-down, but Flo's bravery is served up with five-alarm excitement."--
