Loren Long’s THE YELLOW BUS is a wonderful allegory about the need for community and connection told through the personified view of a school bus whose joy comes from transporting children…until (as the pictures show) she’s aged and deserted under an overpass where she houses the unhoused and from there unlikely situations occur and fill her with joy. Long’s poignant illustrations complete a text that gains power because of them. There’s more information about this book and the audio in the purchase link below.
