Peña, D. M., & Robinson, C. (2015). Last Stop on Market Street (1st ed.). G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books
for Young Readers
CJ and his grandmother ride the bus every Sunday after church. This particular ride is different because CJ starts to wonder and question why they don’t have the things other people have.
During the ride, Nana teaches him to appreciate the things they have and to focus on the beauty and fun of their life as is.
This book is an excellent resource to describe the bond between grandparents and grandchildren. The radiant illustrations captivate the essence of the town’s beauty in unison with the theme of the story. Peña includes descriptive words that help the reader visualize the optimistic view of the grandmother. This book is an excellent resource that can be used to introduce several topics such as optimism, volunteerism, value, inequity, urbanism, and thankfulness.
