Why it's here

A warm, quietly powerful story about a boy and his grandmother's bus ride, with real emotional and social substance for a picture book, and gorgeous, distinctive illustrations.

Skip it if

It's a gentler, slower story without a big silly hook — skip if you want something louder or funnier for a wiggly kid.
