The Boy and the Bus
Losing a close person shakes your life with the force of a major earthquake. Little Joe and his father could tell you – their mother wife died. They move to the countryside and each of them deals with the loss in their own way. The father learns to drive and Joe makes a habit of a daily running race with the school bus.
