I don't want to spoil this beautiful book for you, so I won't say too much. But please, read it! This heartfelt story will move you. It might even make you cry happy, hopeful tears. The text is simple and accessible, but the themes that emerge are profound. How does the passage of time change our perspective? When something (say, an old school bus) is broken-down and abandoned, has its usefulness really come to an end? In this book, a yellow school bus lives many lives and serves many purposes. Seeing its role change over time, we also see what stays the same―the joy that comes from helping others.

This is a visually stunning nonfiction picture book that introduces young readers to ancient cave art, connecting etchings and cave paintings of the past to the ongoing human tradition of self-expression, discovery, and meaning-making through art. Lush illustrations give readers the sense of being there, in the firelight, as ancient art was created, while detailed backmatter provides additional information about important rock art sites around the world.
