Although Athena misses her truck-driving daddy when he’s on the road, she thinks he has the most amazing job in the world. She loves showing off her love of all things trucking. But her classmates don't quite get her or why she calls herself Trucker Kid. Can Athena change their minds and show the other students that it’s cool to be Trucker Kid? Highlighting a child’s pride for a parent’s job, author Carol Gordon Ekster and illustrator Russ Cox remind readers of the essential role truck drivers play in their everyday lives.

"In one short picture book, I have learned a lot about long haul truckers. The telling is full of great words and big ideas, and Athena—the child in the book—brings us into her trucker dad's world with great panache." - Jane Yolen, author of OWL MOON, HOW DO DINOSAURS books

"...We love the fact it talks about what it’s like to be a trucker’s kid. Any trucking family knows that this isn’t the stereotypical mom/dad job where the parent goes off to an office from 9-5. Children of long-haul truckers often have to deal with their parent’s absence for days or even weeks at a time." - Foley Services, Best Children’s Books About Trucks & Transportation
