This award-winning modern classic—a must-have for every child’s home library—is an inclusive ode to kindness, empathy, gratitude, and finding joy in unexpected places, and celebrates the special bond between a curious young boy and his loving grandmother.
"This gentle, artfully illustrated tale of a boy and his grandmother offers a thoughtful introduction to adult themes like race, poverty and disability."—The New York Times

On Sundays, CJ and his nana ride the bus across town to their stop on Market Street. But today, CJ’s not happy about it. Today, he’s wondering out loud why they have to wait in the rain and why they don’t have a car like his other friends. But it’s Nana who opens young CJ’s eyes and shows him the real beauty in the world around them—the spirit of the bustling city, the music in everyday life, and the magic of their often overlooked neighbors.
From award-winning talents Matt de la Peña and Christian Robinson comes a brilliant celebration of the love between a grandmother and her grandson.]]>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2033171https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2033171Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2033171980EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780698173347/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2504378https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2504378Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2504378164BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780399549083/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2675401https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2675401Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2675401164BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593110898/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2691392https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2691392Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2691392164BOOK_PAUDIOenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798822694620/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2649585https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2649585Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2649585164BOOK_PAUDIOenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798822674592/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2703507https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2703507Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2703507164BOOK_PAUDIOenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781669664857/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2427911https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2427911Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2427911164BKspahttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525518709/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2391709https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2391709Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2391709164BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781524740917/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2126195https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2126195Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2126195164BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780545484589/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In Matt de la Peña and Christian Robinson's first collaboration since the Newbery Medal- and Caldecott Honor-winning Last Stop on Market Street comes a poignant and timely new book that's sure to be an instant classic: now adapted for audio, with narration by the author
When Carmela wakes up on her birthday, her wish has already come true—she's finally old enough to join her big brother as he does the family errands. Together, they travel through their neighborhood, past the crowded bus stop, the fenced-off repair shop, and the panadería, until they arrive at the Laundromat, where Carmela finds a lone dandelion growing in the pavement. But before she can blow its white fluff away, her brother tells her she has to make a wish. If only she can think of just the right wish to make . . .
With lyrical, stirring text and evocative narration, Matt de la Peña and Christian Robinson have delivered a moving ode to family, to dreamers, and to finding hope in the most unexpected places.]]>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C3749432https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C3749432Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3749432980EAUDIOBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525638766/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2210754https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2210754Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2210754164BOOK_CDenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780545537919/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1996650https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1996650Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1996650164BKThe Story of Boxing Legend Joe Louisenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780803731677/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1950587https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1950587Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1950587164BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385736671/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1871849https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1871849Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1871849164BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385733106/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1749355https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1749355Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1749355164BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385732321/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2659313https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2659313Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2659313164BKspahttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593699027/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2649383https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2649383Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2649383164BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593325636/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2594840https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2594840Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2594840164BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781984813961/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2704464https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2704464Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2704464164BKspahttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593354629/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2439380https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2439380Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2439380164BOOK_CDDawnbreakerenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781984832603/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2433994https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2433994Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2433994164BKDawnbreakerenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780399549656/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2424184https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2424184Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMThttps://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2424184164BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780399549045/MC.GIF&client=indianheadfls&type=xw12&oclc=
