Last Stop On Market Street by Matt De La Peña

Age Range: 3 - 5 years. Every Sunday after church, CJ and his Nana take the bus to its last stop on Market Street. This Sunday, CJ begins to wonder why... why they have to wait in the rain, why they always take this trip when his friends don’t have to, why his friends’ parents have cars while Nana takes the bus. Nana responds by giving him different ways of look at his surroundings, turning what he saw as lesser into something even more beautiful than the things he wished for. Along the way Nana shows CJ the joy in helping and appreciating the people around them, and readers discover an unexpected purpose to their journey.
