About the Author
Hi! I’m James Burd Brewster, the president of J2B Publishing and the author of the “Glad To Do It!” series. These series began as Uncle Rocky-Fireman stories I told to my two oldest boys (Ben - 5, Luke - 4) in 1990. We loved pretending to be firemen and always shouted, “Glad to do it!” at the end of each story. In 2012, Katie and I took a creative writing course, which prompted thoughts of turning the stories into illustrated children’s books. In pursuing the idea, we met several helpful people who explained the writing/publishing process and encouraged us to start our own publishing company as well as write the books. We followed their advice.
My purpose in telling and writing the “Glad to do it!” series was to publish books that fathers and sons could enjoy reading together, whose characters were responsible, helpful, and humble men that boys could look to as role models. It was only a matter of time before we added police and EMT stories to the series, and with the addition of the Officer Jack and EMT Morales books, the series provides role models for both boys and girls.

Every first responder picture book in the Glad to Do It! series is based on a real emergency response. The firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and nurses who responded are thanked and honored at the front of each book. From there, beloved characters Uncle Rocky, Officers Jack and Kate, Ms. Sue, RN, and EMTs Morales and Flynn bring the rescue to life — giving young readers an exciting, true-to-life story they'll want to hear again and again.
Through these fun read-aloud books for kids, children ages 4–8 learn that firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and Nurses are trustworthy adults who are always ready to help. Each story ends with the first responders responding to a thank-you with their signature phrase — "Glad to do it!" — and in true read-aloud fashion, parents and children say it right along with them!
