Henry Works Hardback picture book - 2004
by Johnson, D.B.
Without Henry, wildflowers would go unwatered in dry weather and rivers would have no crossing stones. Without him, who would bring news of coming storms?
Henry works, but no one seems to notice.
You’re not doing anything today,” his friend says. Come fishing with me.” Not today,” says Henry as he digs up a healing plant for a neighbor. Though he never gets paid, Henry works for more than money.
In this fourth book about Henry David Thoreau, D. B. Johnson’s quiet story flows through morning’s mist to evening’s glow, when, at last, Henry’s most important work is revealed!

Media reviews
Again, an unassuming, deeply affecting tribute to an essential philosopher and writer.
Kirkus Reviews, Starred
With a quiet humor and attention to natural settings, Johnson respectfully conveys Thoreau's philosophy of simplicity.
Publishers Weekly, Starred
The illustrations are both charming and a graphic tour de force...that evoke the many moods of a summer day.
Horn Book
Young readers will appreciate Henry's endeavors, and commisterate with him.
School Library Journal
Fans of the series will happily follow the amiable bear as he ambles the countryside. Booklist, ALA
This title offers subtle reassurance that things that don't read like work can be quite important; kids who have had their diligent efforts to keep their worlds in order go unnoticed will feel a kinship with this observant, tireless bear.
