Description

1 New York Times Bestseller A USA Today Bestseller Winner of the Newbery Medal A Caldecott Honor Book A Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book A Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of the Century One of The Atlantic’s 65 Essential Children’s Books This award-winning modern classic—a must-have for every child’s home library—is an inclusive ode to kindness, empathy, gratitude, and finding joy in unexpected places, and celebrates the special bond between a curious young boy and his loving grandmother. "This gentle, artfully illustrated tale of a boy and his grandmother offers a thoughtful introduction to adult themes like race, poverty and disability."—The New York Times On Sundays, CJ and his nana ride the bus across town to their stop on Market Street. But today, CJ’s not happy about it. Today, he’s wondering out loud why they have to wait in the rain and why they don’t have a car like his other friends. But it’s Nana who opens young CJ’s eyes and shows him the real beauty in the world around them—the spirit of the bustling city, the music in everyday life, and the magic of their often overlooked neighbors. From award- winning talents Matt de la Peña and Christian Robinson comes a brilliant celebration of the love between a grandmother and her grandson. Read more

    • Great story and wonderful pictures
I’ve been trying to find books my son (6) would enjoy reading. He's asked me to read this one to him every night for like a week now. It’s a sweet story and the illustrations are beautiful. I’m really glad I bought it.

    • A beautifully written and illustrated story about a young boy and his Nana and their loving spirit they share with others
Format: Hardcover
This is a simple, but beautiful story with heart. It is told by a little boy who apparently lives with his Nana. The illustrations are scenes painted in brilliant colors. C.J., the boy has many questions to ask his Nana, like why they have to ride the bus or always to do the same thing every Sunday? Nana patiently and gently answers every question and helps C.J. to open his eyes and his mind to the beauty around him. This book teachers children compassion and to look for good and beauty in people and their surroundings. It models empathy for those who have less than one has. Nana has a lovely spirit and great wisdom. She makes one feel that she is a lady one would like to know. Nana teaches the joy of giving back to others. This is a book I will read again and again. ... show more

    • Great story and illustrations!
I purchased this book as a Christmas present for my toddler nephew and it became his favorite new book of the year! I had read the story randomly in a store some years ago as the title, awards, and cover illustration caught my eye. Growing up as a 90s kid, I cannot recall being exposed to a variety of diverse books especially ones that take place in the city and Last Stop on Market Street stuck with me. It depicts the city life well, how for some the only transportation is the bus, and the value of community by giving your time to help and connect with others. The illustrations are beautifully done and the story captures both CJ's imaginations and observations wells. My brother especially loved how wise CJ's grandmother is as she guides him during their journey and teaches him at a young age how to help those in need. ... show more

    • A Must for Every Library
Format: Hardcover
It is so rare to find a book with a POC protagonist, especially in children's books. The story is of a boy and his grandmother who take the bus after church (religion is not part of this you just know they came out of a church building) on a Sunday morning. The little boy is not happy about taking the bus. He wants to ride in a car to their destination. On the bus, he meets and sees lots of different and unique people. Then finally they get the last stop, Market Street. The last stop is a neighborhood that's not so nice, but his grandmother tells him to look past the dirt and find the things that are beautiful. Eventually, they make it to their destination, a soup kitchen, where they meet and serve the people they see every Sunday. Annoyed as he was, the little boy is now grateful and glad that they came. I like this story for one simple reason, it reminds me of all the adventures I took with my great-grandmother on the bus to the library, museum, downtown, and church. Usually on Sundays, it was always me and her. To see that relationship manifested into a book was such a joy when I discovered it. I bought this book for my son who I now take to the library, museum, downtown, and church. Albeit, we usually travel by car, but every once and a while, we will actually take the bus because of that unique experience I had with my own grandmother. I wish the lesson of being thankful for what you have and helping others and seeing the good in things when it looks bad on the surface wasn't so nuanced. That is why I only gave four stars, but other than that, it is a superb book. It is really is a must for ALL home libraries whether you are a POC or not. ... show more
