Tire Mountain by Andrea Cheng and illustrated by Ken Condon is a wonderful story about a boy seeing beauty in unexpected places. Aaron lives in the city across the street from his dad's tire shop. Aaron loves it. Mama wants to move. She is tired of the noise and longs for a house in a beautiful neighborhood. So, Aaron decides to change her mind.
Once again an author and illustrator have captured the creativity, imagination, and industriousness of a young person. This is a beautiful story.
Favorite line: "It's beautiful here," I whisper, watching the taillights fade in the fog.
