Publisher Description
One handy little stroller is passed from family to family in this uplifting picture book celebration of community, diversity, and sharing
When Luna is born, her mommy gives her a little red stroller. It accompanies her and her mommy through all the activities of their day, until she outgrows the stroller and is able to pass it down to a toddler in her neighborhood who now needs it. And so the stroller lives on, getting passed from one child to the next, highlighting for preschool readers the diversity of families: some kids with two mommies, some with two daddies, some with just one parent, and all from different cultures and ethnicities. This simple, cheerful book is a lovely portrait of the variety and universality of family.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a tranquil story about community, sharing, and simple acts of kindness, Furst introduces a friendly red stroller that a new mother gives to her baby daughter, Luna. Luna and her mother use the stroller on weekends about town, until Luna outgrows it: "I'm too big for my stroller now. Why don't you take it?" Luna tells a neighbor child. That family in turn gives it to a third, and the giving and receiving continues. Wu's illustrations, featuring subdued pastels with bright color accents, show families of different backgrounds including same-sex and biracial couples on pleasant outings in urban and rural settings. It's easy to become attached to a familiar object like a stroller, Furst hints, but sharing with others is a gift that keeps giving. Ages 4 8.
