What begins as a scary almost-accident turns into a road-trip adventure, and then a lasting friendship between a truck driver and the moose who joins him for a ride.
Moose has never left his home in the Maine woods, but when he meets Rus, a long-haul trucker on his way to Florida, the two team up and hit the road together. Moose helps Rus navigate, eats his first slice of pizza, and settles into a bunk bed in the truck’s cab after each day's work. What new discoveries await these unlikely friends?
“A delightful surprise, this story celebrates the work of long-haul trucking, often considered an unglamorous, even rough profession.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Loosely sketched florals burst along the bottoms of pages and seep into scenes, communicating the expedition’s breezy exuberance. . . . The camaraderie between Rus and Moose makes for a winsome picture book debut.”
— Publishers Weekly
"There are several lovely aspects to this book. First, it centers around an unexpected friendship and shows how very different personalities can still become close friends. Second, it introduces readers to the trucking profession and brings to light the life and duties of a trucker. Last, it highlights the importance of family, and in this case, shows the problem truckers have due to the regular and longer separations. In other words, there's all sorts of goodness in these pages."
