An Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller
A #1 Indie Bestseller
With stunning illustrations and an inspiring, universal message, The Yellow Bus from #1 New York Times bestselling Loren Long is a tender and hopeful modern classic -- the perfect gift that will bring joy to every bookshelf.
There is a bright yellow bus who spends her days driving. She loves carrying children from one important place to another. Every morning they climb in . . . Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, giggle, giggle-patter. And they fill her with joy.
As time passes, things change. The Yellow Bus gets a new driver, a new route, and new passengers, young and old. Until one day the driving stops for good, and the Yellow Bus is left on her own. And yet, no matter where she is, the Yellow Bus still finds joy and discovery in the world around her.
With stirring black-and-white artwork and powerful pops of color, The Yellow Bus is a story that spans generations with an enduring and poignant message about new beginnings, happiness, and hope. Perfect for fans of Oh, The Places You'll Go and The Wonderful Things You Will Be, this beautifully-illustrated tale celebrates the winding road of life with warmth and wonder.
