I stumbled across this picture book while shelving at work a few days ago. I had to share it!

Cecilia has two jobs. One job is to be a child. The other job is to accompany her parents around town and interpret for them. It’s an important job, but Cecilia is so tired! There are many children like Cecilia in the world. Their work needs to be recognized, so I’m grateful that books like this exist. But also, society can do better!
