My Janitor’s Name Is Ben
Have you ever noticed that no matter how much of a mess you make at school, there is always someone special that cleans it up?
From glue to glitter, from lunch tables to trash cans, every school has a special person that makes sure your school is as clean as possible.
Have you ever noticed what they look like? Have you ever noticed what they do for school every day? Have you ever wondered why those carefully placed crumbs disappear overnight?
About the Book
The inspiration for this book comes from my son Jackson. I used to read bedtime stories to him all the time, and one night I got the idea to write my own. Trying to figure out what I was going to write was a little difficult, but I thought I should write a book explaining to my son what I do for work. Then it clicked! The story should be about what I do for work but through the eyes of a 1st grader. So naturally, and even though the book is about a janitor, the main character is my son Jackson.
Reviews
This is such a fantastic book! I began reading it to my seven year old step-daughter when she grabbed it out of my hands so she could finish reading it to me, telling me about the janitor at her school all along the way! Great book! I hope more are to follow.
This is a must purchase and read for people of all ages! Everyone can relate to knowing at least one janitor in their life! This book is very well written with a little rhyming and great illustrations! My kids loved reading it! We just got it today and they have already read it 3 times!! I’m probably going to read it a couple more times before I go to bed! Great book!!
