Craig Davidson was desperate for a job. He would take any old job at this point. That's why when he found himself interviewing for a school bus driver job he was taking the questions a bit more seriously because he couldn't screw up, he needed this job.
Craig soon found himself the driver of bus # 3077 with a group of great kids. Precious Cargo is Craig's memoir of his days driving the bus. Children can be so open with stories (some real and some made up) and Craig's days were filled with them. Beginning their days and ending their days together every day forming friendships is inevitable. Quickly Craig comes to really care about the children on his bus.
This book really struck a chord with me as I have had the privilege of working at a school with children. Just today I worked as lunch supervisor at a school and the stories you accumulate in just that one hour are plenty.
Precious Cargo was featured on Canada Reads 2019. It is available at Chapters in paperback.
