Just wonderful. A boy and his grandmother ride the bus...but this book has more to it than you may first realize. It's intergenerational. It's multicultural without being "about diversity." It's about class (both the socioeconomic kind and the having grace kind) and giving, even when you don't have much. It's about the seeing-beauty philosophy of life that can border on magical realism but just may be the key to not getting too low down. It's an homage to city life in simple shapes and colors, as Christian Robinson's paintings cause pangs in the hearts of those who grew up with Ezra Jack Keats' illustrations. All this in a picture book? You bet.
