I'M SMART

When I was researching I’M SMART!, the lovely people on this page allowed me to call them up and ask them questions about driving a school bus. I asked about the engine, the gear shift, emergency exits, and so on, but what came across was how much they looked forward to seeing the kids on their route each day and how they worked hard to make the ride fun, and to get their passengers safely to school and safely home again. Each one of them gave me something that went into the heart of this book, and Jim and I are so grateful to these true heroes of the road!
