4. Last Stop On Market Street (written by Matt de la Pena, illustrated by Christian Robinson)
Winner of multiple prestigious awards, including the 2016 Newbery Medal, Last Stop On Market Street is a sweet picture book about kindness and community in an urban city. Join CJ and his grandma on one of their weekly Sunday bus rides across town. On this day, CJ is full of questions about the people and place around them – the blind man, the man with tattoos all over his body, the graffiti on the walls… The dialogue is fun and simple to read aloud, while the colourful images suck you into the lively cityscape. This inspiring book is a great way to start conversations with your child about the beautiful diversity in our world.
You can find the book at Kinokuniya, Book Depository, or the library.
