"Every week a little boy and his grandma hop on the bus after church. Along the way, they meet all kinds of people — a person with lots of tattoos, a flirty blind man, a dude playing guitar. The boy complains about the rain and about not having a car. The grandmother is stern, but loving; they don’t need a car, and the rain waters the trees by the bus stop. The book features a diverse cast of characters, but it’s not a book about diversity. It’s a story about a kid and his grandma and the city, and the beauty and excitement of everyday adventures. (For ages 3 to 5)"
