The Jones Family Express by Javaka Steptoe

Steven adores listening to stories about his Aunt Carolyn's travels but has always been too young to go on a trip with her. When she plans a visit, Steven is stumped over what kind of gift to give her. He finds the answer in an old toy train, which he transforms into "The Jones Family Express," a movable family photo album Aunt Carolyn can take wherever she goes. Javaka Steptoe's brightly colored mixed-media illustrations bring this joyous family tale to life.
