Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. 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 book follows a boy and his grandmother on a Sunday afternoon taking a bus to the last stop. This is something they do every week and they see and talk to the same people on the bus. Later we find out that they are going to volunteer their afternoon at the soup kitchen. I think this is a good book to have in the classroom library for first or second grade. This could also pair well with a lesson on serving others and spreading kindness. no reviews | add a review
