Synopsis:

"One Boy Watching" is a serene and calming picture book that captures the experience of a young boy's daily bus ride to and from school. The story invites readers to join the boy on Bus Number Four as it traverses country roads, city streets, and various enchanting landscapes. Through the bus window, the boy observes the world around him, noticing countless details and marveling at the wonders that unfold before his eyes.


Recommendation:

I felt so calm and at peace as I joined this boy on a soothing ride to school. I felt mesmerized by the beautiful drawings of the landscapes and the simplicity of the poetic words. As it encourages kids to wonder and day dream, I felt as if I was in my own daydream. This is such a relatable and graceful story that I highly recommend. It reminds us to slow down and appreciate the small things around us.

These simple yet gorgeous colored-pencil illustrations are captivating and beautiful. They depict everyday landscapes and scenes and turn them into breathtaking works of art. Enjoy some of my favorite:
