- Synopsis
- Ever since Steven was a little boy his Aunt Carolyn has gone traveling, and she always makes sure to send him a special postcard. Now Steven wants to find something special for Aunt Carolyn in time for the annual family block party. He tries several stores in his Brooklyn neighborhood, but he doesn't have enough money to buy the gift he wants. Giving up on a store-bought gift, Steven finds an old toy train at his uncle's cluttered apartment and creatively transforms it into “The Jones Family Express,” a movable family photo album Aunt Carolyn can take with her wherever she goes. Steven gets a special surprise too—a postcard from his aunt that's “Good for one trip with Aunt Carolyn.” The Jones Family Express is a delightful celebration of strong family ties and the ingenuity and creativity of one young boy. Javaka Steptoe's stunning and inventive mixed media collage illustrations, alive with color and texture, are sure to delight parents and children alike.
