  • I Love Books Recommends Who Is Driving Your Bus?
    2024/08/13

    In this fast-paced story, Niko imagines that his emotions are like passengers getting on and off a bus all day. As he takes on his role as a bus attendant and starts to seat passengers, chaos ensues when he doesn't stop and think about who he lets drive his bus.

    Kids are drawn to the fun illustrations and the humorous story that shows it’s okay to experience and feel all their emotions throughout the day. But kids, like adults, need to be in control of who is driving their bus. Children and their parents have a lot to learn from this short, wonderful book that will empower them to use self-regulation skills to manage their emotions in healthy ways.

    Who is driving your bus today? This minute? It’s your choice to make!

    Why You Should Feature This Book

    Here are just a few reasons readers will want to buy Who Is Driving Your Bus? and a great bookstore will want to stock the book:

    Who Is Driving Your Bus? is a fast-paced, funny, engaging children’s book that teaches children how to easily handle their emotions every day. Children will ask to read (or be read to) the book every day.

    If you loved bestselling books like A Little Spot of Anger, What Should Danny Do?, The Color Monster, Ninja Life Hacks, and In My Heart, you’ll love Who Is Driving Your Bus?

    Children can connect to the bus driver principle. One child, for instance, who had difficulty regulating his frustration, was inspired by the bus driver image. He said, “I guess I need a better bus driver!”

    The author can bring along plush dolls to illustrate some of the emotions kids experience every day. These dolls set the basis for interactive presentations by the author at schools, bookstores, libraries, and other events.

    Parents and children are attracted to book and plush combos that encourage children to act out their feelings revealed by engaging stories.

    “The book’s colorful and fun illustrations are a significant part of its appeal, capturing the energy and personality of each emotion.” — American Writing Award

    Once magic and science had been fused together by the Artificers, a guild of technicians who were cast out from the empire they had fought so hard to protect. They had created wondrous machines that defied explanation.

    As this forgotten technology sparks back to life, sinister figures from the dark past also resurface. With no one left with the knowledge of these fantastical machines, who will be able to stop the chaos they unleash? And who is operating them?

    Slade and his young companions find themselves in the middle of a race to find answers, as members of the diabolical Withered Hand lurk through town looking for answers to ancient secrets.

    The long awaited saga, Aether Sphere, begins here!
