Here it is, our future home.

Our school bus with the seats removed and the flooring pulled up and the preliminary outlines of interior amenities sketched out with blue tape. This is the starting point. We will share every step of the adventure ahead as the magnificent Brian Thompson works his magic. Stay tuned.

The Busload of Books Tour is a year-long project to promote literacy and raise awareness of the challenges facing our nation’s public schools.

Author/illustrator duo Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr (that’s us) and our four kids will spend the 2022-2023 school year traveling the country in a school bus/tiny home, visiting Title I schools in all 50 states (plus DC), and giving away 25,000 hardcover books to students and teachers from underserved communities.
