A child chronicles a family’s adventures over the course of a year as they journey in their converted bus. . . . The book exudes a strong sense of community as the family learns, plays, and gets help from friendly people along the way. Petzold’s writing is lyrical and sensory, sprinkled with the sounds of calling birds, crackling campfires, and honking horns. In this quiet, slice-of-life story, it’s the art that propels the page turns, thoughtfully shifting perspective by zooming in on crawling caterpillars, pulling back to create a sense of awe under tree canopies and starry nights, guiding the eye down into gorges and up to red-tailed hawks. The rustic illustrations complement the family’s laid-back, nature-forward lifestyle. . . . An idyllic slice of traveling life.
