This award-winning modern classic–a must-have for every child’s home library–is an inclusive ode to kindness, empathy, gratitude, and finding joy in unexpected places, and celebrates the special bond between a curious young boy and his loving grandmother.
“This gentle, artfully illustrated tale of a boy and his grandmother offers a thoughtful introduction to adult themes like race, poverty and disability.”–The New York Times
On Sundays, CJ and his nana ride the bus across town to their stop on Market Street. But today, CJ’s not happy about it. Today, he’s wondering out loud why they have to wait in the rain and why they don’t have a car like his other friends. But it’s Nana who opens young CJ’s eyes and shows him the real beauty in the world around them–the spirit of the bustling city, the music in everyday life, and the magic of their often overlooked neighbors.
From award-winning talents Matt de la Peña and Christian Robinson comes a brilliant celebration of the love between a grandmother and her grandson.
