Celebrating Big Rig by Jamie A. Swenson

Today marks the arrival of Big Rig (Disney-Hyperion), the second picture book by my dear writing friend, Jamie A. Swenson. 

Goodreads summary: Come along for the ride as Frankie the big rig truck takes us on the job, driving past kiddie cars (school buses) and land yachts (RVs). Hear the horn blow and the wipers schwat the windshield clean. But, BANG! SHHUUU! Uh-oh: a blow-out! Don't worry, a service truck saves the day so we can get the job done and make a very special delivery. Every kid will love to learn the truck driver lingo in the story, and shout out their own sound effects as they return for another ride, read after read. Author Jamie Swenson takes readers from zero to sixty with her fast-talking truck and Ned Young's bright and engaging illustrations. 

BIG RIG is hitting the road accompanied by many very nice industry reviews including these:

CONGRATULATIONS, JAMIE! I'm so proud and very happy that BIG RIG is rolling out onto shelves everywhere!
