Publisher Comments

Every Sunday after church, CJ and his grandma ride the bus across town. But today, CJ wonders why they don't own a car like his friend Colby. Why doesn't he have an iPod like the boys on the bus? How come they always have to get off in the dirty part of town? Each question is met with an encouraging answer from grandma, who helps him see the beauty — —and fun — —in their routine and the world around them.

This energetic ride through a bustling city highlights the wonderful perspective only grandparent and grandchild can share, and comes to life through Matt de la Pena's vibrant text and Christian Robinson's radiant illustrations.

Review

“It's also the warmth of [the] intergenerational relationship that will make this book so satisfying, for both young readers and the adults sharing it with them.” New York Times Book Review 

Review

“The urban setting is truly reflective, showing people with different skin colors, body types, abilities, ages, and classes in a natural and authentic manner… A lovely title.” School Library Journal

Review

“Like still waters, de la Peña and Robinson's story runs deep. It finds beauty in unexpected places, explores the difference between whats fleeting and what lasts, acknowledges inequality, and testifies to the love shared by an African-American boy and his grandmother.” Publishers Weekly, starred review

Review

“This celebration of cross-generational bonding is a textual and artistic tour de force.” Kirkus Reviews, starred review
