A Bus Called Heaven
Could a broken-down bus really bring a whole city neighborhood together? Could it all start with a small girl named Stella? With a master's eye for finding the magic in the mundane, Graham creates an encouraging story about community. Full color.
“In a story where every turn is possible, if improbable, Graham makes readers believe. High hopes and busy, vibrant artwork . . . will entice children.” — Booklist (starred review)
One morning in front of Stella’s house, an abandoned bus appears, looking sad as a whale on a beach. On its front, held up with packing tape, is a hand-painted sign that says Heaven. Right away, the bus brings change to Stella’s street when people stop to talk about it instead of rushing by. “This bus could be ours,” Stella declares.
With a master’s eye for finding the magic in the mundane, Bob Graham creates an encouraging story about community — a whimsical tale about neighbours of all ages and stripes coming together, and about one little girl who comes into her own.
