I have a story about admiring a kid's parka at a block party and when I told the kid's dad how my kids used to have one just like it, he called the kid over, zipped open the jacket, and we found my son's name in it - even though I didn't know this dad or kid at all... and that's what this cute stroller story is all about.

A little red stroller is passed from family to family as the child gets to big for it.

Love the diversity of the images and the full circle story.

A sweet story that gets an extra half a star from me for having a character named Luna. :)

A very cute book about a red stroller that gets passed along between different families in the community when their little ones outgrow it. I really liked the diverse representation of families of many different cultural backgrounds. The pictures are a little small so it would make a better one-on-one book for younger elementary children.

This cute story shows the spirit of generosity (and the friendships that can surround hand-me-downs!) through a variety of multicultural families, representing different religions, ethnicities, multiracial couples, and even a lesbian and a gay couple. The stroller helps these families do lots of fun activities together, like go to the boardwalk, outdoor concerts, birthday parties, etc. It's a sweet story about community, growing up and out of things, and cheerfully letting go of what you don't need to help others.

I may have gotten a little teary-eyed reading this wonderful tale of kindness and passing it on!

A story of community.

In this story, the little red stroller is passed from family to family, traveling through many activities and diverse communities, until it faces its demise (after at least 10 families used it from babyhood through toddlerhood). But just when the last family discovers the red stroller is broken beyond repair, another family comes along and offers up their yellow stroller, since they no longer need it. In a cute ending, the yellow stroller somehow makes it back to the original owner of the red stroller, completing the cycle. Aside from the fact that very few strollers could make it through more than two or three families (especially families who spend so much time traveling and walking/jogging), it’s a cute story of community and recycling useful items. The art in this book was created digitally.
