Clang-clang! Clunk! Crunch! A story about a working woman and the big machines kids love! From the best-selling author and illustrator team of Trashy Town.
Hook it, lift it, off the ground
Easy, careful, swing it ‘round.
Clunk!
Phew! Good job.
Crane Jane punches the clock at the dock, then climbs into her tall, tall crane. She’s ready for a day of lifting cargo from ships to dry land. Then comes Jane’s biggest challenge of all—a firetruck! But when high winds send her load swinging, Jane uses all her skill to keep the crane under control. Parents and children can read together the clang-clang! of the crane and toot-toot! of the ships!
The Big Jobs, Bold Women series features strong women in tough hands-on jobs. Don't miss out on Firefighter Flo! and Plumber Pearl!
With dynamic artwork from Dan Yaccarino, Nickelodeon character designer for The Backyardians, and energetic verse from Andrea Zimmerman, best-selling author of Trashy Town, Crane Jane is the perfect read for truck and construction-obsessed kids.

What reviewers said
"With its inspiring female main character, brush with danger, shout-worthy onomatopoeia, and peaceful bedtime conclusion, the story will likely resonate through many repeat readings."
"It’s great that kids see a woman, especially a woman of color, carry out her job so skillfully and effortlessly in a predominantly male-dominated profession. . . . When it comes to doing heavy lifting, you can count on this tale."
