The Yellow Bus Hardcover – Picture Book, June 25, 2024

We purchased this book after having read a New York Times article on the author-illustrator. Loren Long. What an amazing book! I love the story line and the beautifully illustrated pages. Our 7 year old grandson doesn't tire of "reading" the pictures along with the story. The illustrations are loaded with subjects to talk about, along with the peaceful refrain that repeats throughout the book, "And they filled her with joy." This book fills us with joy. Thanks, Loren Long. Another great children's book.

My son has been obsessed with saying 'yellow bus!' for a month or two now, so this book was perfect. The art is beautiful and the story is sad in that way kid's stories can punch you in the heart, but it has what I think is a happy ending! He'll probably be able to listen more at 3 than now, but he appreciates the illustrations already. Beautiful book

Beautifully illustrated story about finding purpose and joy through the stages in life. It was recommended by our library, and our toddler loved it. So we bought it for ourselves and others.

This has been a great first book! Our 1 year old tries to find the yellow bus on each page and has learned to point it out. Great for reading readiness. The message is reminiscent of the Giving Tree. Sweet story, but the illustrations are what endeared the book to me.

Wonderful story and illustrations.

Content is fabulous and illustrations are on point. I love reading this, and my students really loved the look. They said it made them feel like the bus and what it felt throughout.

This is a charming book with a sweet concept. It is beautifully illustrated, pleasing both child and adult.

I am a big fan of Loren Long's writing and illustrations, and he has hit another one out of the park! I especially loved the back matter that explained his process and inspiration for this story. Compelling!
