A lovely title.” —School Library Journal “It’s not often that you see class addressed in picture books in ways that are subtle and seamless, but Last Stop on Market Street, the affectionate story of a young boy and his grandmother, does just that . . . This ode to gratitude is 2015’s first must-read picture book.” —BookPage “If Robinson doesn't win this year's Caldecott, then next year could be the one with his name on it. His remarkable Last Stop on Market Street (with Matt de la Peña), is an early favorite for the best picture book of 2015.” —The Huffington Post "Bright colors and streamlined shapes keep the urban setting and its denizens cheerful, emphasizing the positive message.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books “This story is full of figurative language and the art provides a distinct contemporary feel to support this urban story.” —School Library Connection

I wanted to write a book." This book demonstrates a unique approach to writing and telling stories and is a delightful gift for children as well as for teachers seeking a mentor text for their classrooms.Trade ReviewA Boston Globe–Horn Book Honor Book"A series of cleverly crafted tales involving a precocious girl doing ordinary things in a creative and energetic manner.
