Hop on board the colorful chicken bus! A charming and adventurous story of a retired school bus who finds a new home -- and renewed purpose -- as a chicken bus.
Bus loves his job as a school bus. He enjoys taking children to and from school, but his tires are bald, his axles creak, and his engine sputters. Eventually, Bus is retired and parked away. Bus longs to be drives again, missing the rides to and from school every day. Then one day, Bus turns back on and drive past the school and familiar roads into an entirely new place. After some new tires, a powerful engine, and a colorful, fresh paint job, Bus becomes Rayo, the chicken bus! As a chicken bus, Rayo takes a new community of people (and chickens) where they need to go, finding a renewed purpose and home along his new route in the beautiful streets of Guatemala.
Vroom, Vroom, Vámonos! follows the journey of many retired U.S. school buses that are sold and taken to Central America to become chicken buses. Brightly painted and named, these chicken buses are used as a main source of public transportation. Celebrating this beautiful tradition of upcycling, talented author Nydia Armendia-Sánchez shares a fun adventure that sprinkles in easy-to-remember Spanish vocabulary. Paired with Teresa Martinez's bright and colorful illustrations, this picture book captures the rich culture and beautiful landscape of Guatemala.
