Bank Street College 2025 Margaret Wise Brown Board Book Award -Silver Medal!!!

One eager little brother is at home, playing alone. He listens and looks out for a variety of trucks and vehicles that pass by his home. But he's really hoping the big yellow bus will be next.

At long last, at the end of the school day, the bus pulls up--with his big sister on board!
