Where the Rubber Meets the Road

Welcome to the Courageous Adventures of Shelbee the Short Bus, a heart-warming children's book series that reveals how Shelbee the Short Bus and his five new riders learn to turn disabilities into possibilities.

In Where the Rubber Meets the Road, book 1 in the Shelbee the Short Bus series, we meet Shelbee the Short Bus who is taking on a new job of transporting five children - Amber, Zoe, Ian, Sean, and Toby - to their special education classes at Evergreen Elementary School. Each child has a unique set of challenges, and together with Shelbee, they begin a journey of embracing new possibilities in live.

Meanwhile, Shelbee is the only “short bus” (small bus) among all the other regular buses carrying kids to school. Bossee, the leader of the buses, is skeptical of Shelbee—having never worked with a short bus before. Rustee, a wise, older bus, has been around the block a time or two and sees some possibilities for Shelbee, while buses Smokee and Blinkee are not sure what to make of Shelbee the “newbee.”

Will Shelbee the Short Bus weather the skepticism of Bossee and the other buses and earn their respect? Will Amber, Zoe, Ian, Sean, and Toby pull together to help Shelbee and learn a lesson or two of their own? Join us on The Courageous Adventures of Shelbee the Short Bus and discover the possibilities yourself.
