When Mino Took the Bus cover

A young chipmunk learns about friendship and the importance of the journey in When Mino Took the Bus as he ventures into the world.

In When Mino Took the Bus, readers are invited to embark on a heartwarming journey alongside a young chipmunk named Mino. As he turns eight weeks old, Mino faces a significant milestone: leaving his mother and stepping into the world on his own. With a mix of excitement and impatience, he kisses his mama goodbye and boards a bus that will take him to his new home. This transition marks the beginning of Mino's adventure, filled with new experiences and friendships that will shape his understanding of the world.

As the bus travels along its route, Mino meets a variety of passengers, each offering unique insights and lessons. Through these encounters, he learns about the beauty of friendship and the importance of appreciating the small moments in life. Each new friend introduces him to something special, whether it's a different perspective or a new way to enjoy the journey. This delightful narrative emphasizes that the path we take can be just as meaningful as the destination we aim for.

When Mino Took the Bus is not just a story about travel, but a celebration of growth, connection, and the joys of discovery. It reminds readers, both young and old, that every journey is filled with opportunities to learn and grow, and that sometimes, the best experiences come from the unexpected moments along the way.

Ciraolo's pastel-hued story finds Mino sharing the journey to the last bus stop with an array of fun animal characters and features fabulous woodland drawings. * The Observer *
Such a good concept for a story and delivered with style, humour, and charm. * Karl Newson, author of I Am a Tiger *
A delightfully gentle, philosophical story about the things that really matter in life, and has a lovely dream-like quality. Highly recommended! * Jane Porter, author of The Girl Who Noticed Everything *
