I love this story! This is a story about a bus called heaven. People find a bus without owner along the street, and then they move it out of the street and into Stella’s front yard. The adults began to clean things up, while some boys are painting the side of the bus. The heaven bus become a small community. Everyone brings something to donate to their new community center - one little girl brings her goldfish, a little boy donates his comic books, Stella contributes her table soccer game, other people bring chairs, rugs and baked goods. Everything is harmonious, until a tow truck arrived...A wonderful book about people together to create a “heaven” for their own. A sweet, but very long picture book about a neighborhood that becomes a community when they rally to make an old bus a place to hang out and gather. Lots of working together and realizing that the people you see every day on the street could be people you spend time with.Cartoony, detailed illustrations tell this very urban story. Way too wordy for a story time, but kids who like books with a strong narrative element will be entertained.
