Locomotive (2014)

Winner of the Caldecott Medal and a Sibert Honor Book, Locomotive is a richly detailed journey into the world of America's early railroads from the creator of the acclaimed Moonshot.

Set in the summer of 1869, the story follows trains, crews, and families traveling the brand-new transcontinental railroad. Vivid language and expansive artwork capture the sounds, speed, power, and hard work behind the mighty engines as they cross plains, mountains, and open country.

Readers can almost hear the hiss of steam and feel the rumble of the tracks in this immersive celebration of innovation, adventure, and a nation on the move.
