the boys and the subway
Christoph Niemann’s sons are obsessed with the NYC subway system: “The A train pulled in, and Gustav (who had been hoping for the C) started throwing a fit. However, the other passengers in the car gave me warm smiles. I guess they hadn’t seen that many 3-year-olds sobbing, “Local…I want the local.” I would love this story even if Niemann’s illustrations weren’t note perfect—and they are! This made me so happy today.
