Miss Leoparda
by Natalia Shaloshvili & translated by Lena Traer
Miss Leoparda drives a bus (when she isn’t sleeping). All the seats are taken, until one day when they see something amazing: a little black car speeding into the distance. Soon, the community of the bus is gone as all the passengers opt for individual car travel. Traffic jams ensue. This picture book is full of personality, combining deadpan humour with expressive acrylic and crayon illustrations.
Ages 3-6
