About This Book
Every Sunday after church, a boy named CJ rides the bus across town with his grandma. Along the way he asks why they don't have a car, why he doesn't have certain gadgets, and why they always go to the run-down part of town - and each time, his wise grandmother helps him see the beauty and richness in their life and community.
Why We Love This
Grandma's quiet wisdom is so moving, and this Newbery and Caldecott-honored story beautifully shows kids that richness comes in many forms beyond material things.
