The publishers say, ‘This is the book for all tiny train enthusiasts!’ In this picture book, a child tells of the train station at the end of his street. Every day, their mother catches a train to work and home. Sometimes their family catches a train from Minty Bay into the city and return.

Every aspect of catching a train – and what trains and their stations look like – is captured in words and illustrations (which are stunning). It celebrates trains and train travel in an accessible and relatable way.

This book sits alongside best-selling books like That’s Not My Train and Thomas the Tank Engine.
