Papa says

it's the sound of leaving

that speaks to my soul...

Poignant words and striking images join forces in this heartbreaking yet uplifting picture book about the son of a sharecropper, his love for trains, and his adulation of one legendary engineer, Casey Jones.

It's the story of a hero lost and a hero discovered, of a dream crushed then reawakened, but mostly it is a story of the force that sustains the human spirit- hope. 32 pages

"MacArthur Award winner Johnson (Heaven; Toning the Sweep) pens a reverie as piercing and poignant as the long cry of a train whistle against debut artist Long's breathtaking backdrops." -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review (Ages 5-7)
