Along the way, the grandmother helps him appreciate the unexpected beauty in the city, especially in the people. An African-American child and his look-on-the-bright-side grandmother take a bus, after church, to a soup kitchen (though we don't find out their destination until the end). This picture book is truly extraordinary and, while delightful for the preschool set, can also be used with older students right up through middle school.
