Grace, a loving baby girl with bright eyes and a big smile, stands on her tiptoes next to a wooden bench at a sunny bus stop, looking eagerly down a wide winding road. In the background, colorful houses with red, yellow, and blue walls line the wide road under a bright sunny sky.

Grace and her mama stand at the bus stop. The sun is warm. The breeze is soft. "Where is the bus?" says Mama. Grace looks down the wide road. She wiggles her toes. She is ready!

A big, shiny red bus with wide windows and round black wheels rolling toward a wooden bench at a sunny bus stop, its front headlights gleaming like friendly eyes. In the background, friendly green trees sway gently in the breeze along the wide winding road.

Rumble, rumble, rumble! Here it comes! A big, shiny red bus rolls down the road. It is so big! The wheels go round and round. The bus slows down. Sssssss! The bus stops right at the bench.

Grace, a loving baby girl with bright eyes and a big smile, carefully climbs up wide steps inside the open doors of a big, shiny red bus, holding Mama's hand. In the background, the sunny bus stop with its wooden bench is visible through the open bus doors.

The doors open wide — whoooosh! "In we go!" says Mama. The bus driver smiles and waves. Grace sees three big steps. One step, two steps, three steps — up, up, up! Good job, Grace!

A soft blue seat inside a big, shiny red bus with a silver bar in front of it, next to a big, wide window letting in golden sunlight. In the background, rows of soft blue seats stretch down the aisle of the bus.

Grace and Mama find a seat. The seat is soft and blue. Mama says, "Hold on tight, Grace!" Grace holds the silver bar in front of her. Beep, beep! The doors close. The bus begins to move!

Grace, a loving baby girl with bright eyes and a big smile, presses her little hands against a big, wide window on the bus, gazing out with wonder. In the background, through the big wide window, a bright green park with tall swings is visible.

The bus rolls past the park. Grace looks out the big, wide window. She sees green grass and tall swings. Ding, ding! The bus stops. The doors open wide. A friendly neighbor gets on. "Hello!" says Grace.

Grace, a loving baby girl with bright eyes and a big smile, bounces happily on a soft blue seat, waving her little hands up high with a joyful giggle. In the background, the inside of the big, shiny red bus with its rows of soft blue seats and wide windows showing the sunny town.

The bus rolls on. Bump, bump, bump! Grace bounces in her seat. She wiggles. She giggles. She dances her hands up high! The bus is like music — bump, bump, bump!

A pair of sturdy black shoes climbing up three wide steps inside the open doors of the big, shiny red bus. In the background, the wide winding road and colorful houses with red, yellow, and blue walls are visible through the open doors.

Ding, ding! The bus stops again. The doors open wide. Another friendly neighbor climbs the steps — one, two, three! "Hello!" says Grace. She waves and waves. The bus rolls on.

Grace, a loving baby girl with bright eyes and a big smile, points excitedly out a big, wide window on the bus at something outside. In the background, through the big wide window, a sparkling blue pond with white and brown ducks swimming is visible.

The bus rolls past the pond. Grace sees ducks! "Quack, quack!" she says. The water sparkles in the sun. Ding, ding! The bus stops. The doors open wide. One more friendly neighbor gets on. "Hello!" says Grace.

Grace, a loving baby girl with bright eyes and a big smile, grips a silver bar tightly with both little hands while sitting on a soft blue seat, looking up with a reassured expression. In the background, the aisle of the big, shiny red bus stretches forward toward the front.

Oh no! The bus stops fast — screeeech! Grace feels wobbly. She tips forward. But Mama holds her close. "It is okay, Grace. Hold on tight to the silver bar. That keeps us safe and steady." Grace holds on. She feels better now.

A pair of small baby hands wrapped around a shiny silver bar, with golden sunlight streaming in from a big, wide window beside them. In the background, the soft blue seats of the bus glow warmly in the sunlight.

The bus rolls on, nice and slow. Grace holds the silver bar. She feels safe. She bounces just a little. Bump, bump, bump! When you ride a bus, you hold on tight. And if you feel wobbly, that is okay. Someone who loves you is right there.

Grace, a loving baby girl with bright eyes and a big smile, waves with one little hand from the bottom of the three wide steps of the big, shiny red bus. In the background, a cozy stone library with a little red door and round windows sits beneath shady trees.

The bus rolls past the cozy library. Grace sees the little red door. Ding, ding! This is their stop! The bus stops. The doors open wide. Mama says, "Say bye-bye!" Grace waves to the bus driver. "Bye-bye, bus!"

Grace, a loving baby girl with bright eyes and a big smile, stands on the sidewalk holding Mama's hand, gazing down the wide winding road with a look of wonder. In the background, the big, shiny red bus with wide windows and round black wheels drives away down the wide road past colorful houses under a golden sunset sky.

The big, shiny red bus rumbles away down the wide road. Grace watches it go. So many places to see. So many rides to take. Tomorrow, the bus will come again. And Grace will be ready — toes wiggling, hands dancing, heart full of wonder.
