The Yellow Bus
by Loren Long (author and illustrator)
Brief summary: A school bus gives and receives joy wherever it goes. It starts by transporting children and then moves on to serving the elderly. In its later years, it becomes a shelter for the homeless and even for goats, continuing to bring joy throughout its entire lifespan.
Comments: The illustrations were created with graphite pencil, charcoal pencil, charcoal dust, and acrylic paint. I particularly liked the contrast between the black and white illustrations with the brightly colored ones especially the yellow.
The theme of this book was to find the joy in every situation.

The selected children’s books are chosen by a highly qualified retired elementary school librarian who passionately reads and recommends picture books to teachers, school librarians, parents, grandparents, and other book enthusiasts.
Most of the books Mrs. Ferraris recommends are checked out from the public library. The only exception is the complimentary copies she receives for an honest review, which are duly noted.
