Occasionally, already-popular books are worth continued promotion. There is so much to love about Matt de la Peña and Christian Robinson's "Last Stop on Market Street" (2015) that although many of you may be familiar with it, I felt compelled to share it here for those who aren't. 📚📙📗 A wonderful intergenerational story, "Last Stop" is an upbeat reminder that picture books can reflect the reality of our world without being sad. It reminds us that not everyone lives in a beautiful suburb, drives a car, has lots of money, and that that's just fine. The use of dialect reminds us that not everyone speaks the same way, but the story is clear that we all need to communicate with each other. Robinson's art brings the city to life with colour even in what is supposed to be a dingy neighbourhood. A lovely ode to urban life, and seeing the good in things. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #laststoponmarketstreet #laststop #marketstreet #mattdelapena #mattdelapeña #christianrobinson #newberyaward #newberymedal #caldecott #caldecotthonor #caldecotthonorbook #corettascottkingaward #corettascottkingillustratorhonor #notablechildrensbook #awardwinning #awardwinner #grandmother #grandson #intergenerationalstories #intergenerational #diversebooksforkids #weneeddiversebooks #sundaysout #afterchurch #blackkids #brownkids #representationmatters #diversitymatters https://www.instagram.com/p/B168ZaxHQCm/?igshid=bk7xovj8i2f7
