The Journey Home from Grandpa's

32 pp. | Barefoot | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 1-905236-37-9 $16.99
(3) PS Illustrated by Sophie Fatus. A repetitive, songlike text describes a family's ride home from Grandpa's, during which they observe a purple train, a blue barge, and a red fire engine, among other vehicles. Acrylic illustrations echo the palette of each featured vehicle and include sweeping curvilinear lines that convey the journey's twists and turns. The final double-page spread shows a map of the trip.
