WE NEED DIVERSE BOOKS: This book from a young, up-and-coming artist of color. By reflecting and celebrating the daily details of a child that reflects the author's experience, this book is universal and inviting¿truly a mirror, window, and door. TIMELY TOPIC: This book provides an accessible approach to a serious (and seriously underdocumented) part of American life for many young readers. Teachers, librarians, and parents will appreciate the way this book blends the importance of current events in an easily understandable narrative that kids will enjoy following along with. FAMILY-CENTRIC: The journey described in this book¿a loving family's daily trip to school¿is timeless and relatable, yet wonderfully specific. UNIQUE EXPERIENCES: Like Last Stop on Market Street, this book leans into the narrator (and creator)'s very particular experience and yet makes the individuality of such an experience highly relatable, communicating to readers that even their most personal routines are part of what connects them with all humans. Young readers who take the bus to school or get driven a few blocks by their parents will see what makes them similar to kids like the author, even if the shape of their routines are different. EVERGREEN APPROACH TO A CLASSIC TOPIC: The author turns the "school" trope on its head by making the book all about the trip, rather than focusing on apprehension or excitement about the school itself.
