Reach for this book when your child is standing at the window watching the neighborhood buses go by, or when the 'big kid' transition of starting school feels both exciting and a little daunting.

By showing the buses as friendly, purposeful vehicles that navigate the city and suburban streets, Donald Crews helps normalize the idea of school transportation. With sparse text and bold, clear illustrations, the book focuses on the visual comfort of the familiar yellow bus. It speaks to a child's natural curiosity about how the world works and provides a gentle, low-pressure introduction to school routines. It is a perfect choice for toddlers obsessed with things that go, as well as preschoolers who are mentally preparing for their first ride on the big yellow bus.
