"Last Stop on Market Street" by Matt de la Peña

This book reminds children to open their eyes to the world around them and see that there is so much beauty happening. One of the ways that Jesus “saves” us is by doing the same thing: pointing us toward God’s love that is already overflowing in the world.

Book Description:

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.
