In Which the Bus Gets a Minor Upgrade
by Matthew
April 25, 2022

Just headed out to Cox Diesel Repair & Fabrication to pick up the bus so Brian can keep working on the conversion. The folks at Cox tied our on-board generator into the main fuel line, added some freon to the AC, and worked out some hiccups with the fuel intake. We’re inching ever closer to full road-readiness.

Every time I drive the bus, I get a little more comfortable behind the wheel. The seat is high and the view is good. It’s loud and slow and just the right kind of uncomfortable. I can’t think of any vehicle I’d rather drive 25,000 miles.

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.

As we travel, we will be blogging, vlogging and posting frequently to social media. All of our content will be appropriate for bringing families and students along on our ultimate road trip.
