“A fun read that gently introduces our kids to the trades.” Tom P. (New Jersey) “Bravo! There are heroes in all occupations. The Water Came to a Stop reminds us all how important are our skilled workforce.” Kevin R. (Pennsylvania) “Next Up Trades and its first book, The Water Came to a Stop, is a niche I didn't know we needed but I am so grateful that it’s created. Not only does it celebrate the skills required of our tradespeople (both interpersonal and job-specific) but also the entrepreneurial spirit that is so critical to success.” Riki J. (Pennsylvania) --------- Dean is having an enjoyable birthday with all his friends and family when his home’s water unexpectedly stops. The family acts quickly and calls contractors from NEXT UP TRADES. Gomer Gopher and Flo Fish provide a solution to the problem and help immediately. Dean and the family acknowledge a deep admiration for all those involved in the skilled trade of PLUMBING. The Water Came To A Stop is the first book of the NEXT UP TRADES series, set in a residential plumbing application. The book utilizes rhyming word structure to teach children that skilled trades work is noble, necessary, and appreciated when completed. NEXT UP TRADES represents a rhyming children’s book series which teaches children that work in the skilled trades is noble, necessary, and appreciated when completed. Its content focuses on celebrating problem solving, helping others and developing a positive perception of the trades. Along with entertaining, other anticipated lessons are to improve perceptions to encourage women, minorities, and anyone else to seek information on the skilled trades. Today, fewer young people are being introduced to the skilled trades. The trades are experiencing an aging workforce with an increasing percentage leaving than those that are entering. The plumbing, HVAC and electrical industries are comfort businesses with our homes and businesses built with these systems. Workers in these industries accomplish their jobs with a can-do attitude, honest spirit, and willingness to go the “extra mile”. In a time of an emergency, these are the most important people to call to correctly solve your problem. Simply put as a workforce, they are essential.
