This sweet picture book captures the importance of a relationship that hardly exists. A girl watches every day for the train that goes by her house and every day she waves to the conductor. On his (unbeknownst to her) last day, he throws her his cap and she treasures it. What seems like what will be a book about her dealing with the change of this daily routine instead becomes a book about how fleeting yet important and true these connections we make as children can be. The book is low key and reassuring and would be great for someone who could use a little pep talk about how life moves on and it all works out.
