by Grant Snider (Author)

Everyone knows what it feels like to be a passenger--and this book finally puts this universal feeling into words.

Climb aboard Bus Number Four as it travels along country roads and city streets, past train tracks and farm fields. Through the window, countless details rush by, just waiting to be noticed. What will you see today?

In this lyrical tribute to long rides and curious minds, author Grant Snider celebrates the extraordinary found within the ordinary, the fascinating hiding within the familiar, and the world of discovery awaiting all those who watch and wonder.

THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING A PASSENGER: An ode to staring out the window, to the daydream, and to observation. This thoughtful new picture book is a wonderful way for kids to think about their own commute to school.

COUNTING: Every morning, one boy watches . . . for two bright headlights, three big steps up, four rusty cars, and infinite wonders that can be seen along the way! Kids will enjoy counting the colorful worlds that slip by the windows on this journey.

READ ALOUD: With its contemplative and poetic lyricism, and bright, textured illustrations, this classic-feeling book is a beautiful read aloud.

Perfect for:

- Parents and grandparents of introspective, introverted, or thoughtful daydreamers
- Families who commute, take road trips, or enjoy long car rides
- Fans of Grant Snider's previous titles, including What Color is Night?, What Sound is Morning? and There Is A Rainbow.

Author Biography

Grant Snider is an orthodontist by day, finding hidden hours to write, draw, and create cartoons and picture books, including What Color is Night? and What Sound is Morning? For 11 years, he rode Bus Number Four to school in Mulvane, Kansas. His favorite things about riding the bus were listening to '90s Top 40 radio, the feeling of going over a big bump on a country dirt road, and occasionally getting to school late when the bus had to wait for a long train to pass. He lives in Wichita, Kansas, with his family.
