Official synopsis Publisher
A unique, child’s-eye view of life on the road
On a long-haul trucking trip with her mom, a girl watches the world go by from the high window of the truck’s cab. As the 18-wheeler eats up the road, the girl plays Punch Buggy, Go Fish, and I Spy to pass the time. Soon, a giant swerve tells her they’re pulling into a truck stop for lunch, to use the dirty bathroom, and to take a few laps around the truck to wake up their legs. At bedtime, the girl falls asleep in the cozy bed behind the driver’s seat, while her mom drives for a few more hours into the dark night.
As the girl, her mom, and their dog keep on truckin’, readers are immersed and taken along for the ride. With evocative language and a childlike perspective, this picture book offers a unique glimpse into life on the road with a trucker mom.
