Last Stop on Market Street

by  Matt de la Peña, Christian Robinson (Illustrated by)

A young boy sees the city through new eyes

Every Sunday after church, CJ and his grandma ride the bus across town.
But today, CJ wonders why they don’t own a car like his friend Colby. Why
doesn’t he have an iPod like the boys on the bus? How come they always
have to get off in the dirty part of town? Each question is met with an
encouraging answer from grandma, who helps him see the beauty—and fun—
in their routine and in the world around them.

This energetic ride through a bustling city highlights the love and
understanding between grandparent and grandchild as the world comes to
life through Matt de la Pena’s vibrant text and Christian Robinson’s radiant
illustrations.
