PRE ORDER - Launch 1st September 2026
Parents, Guardians and Carers
Welcome back aboard Bus 11, Emily’s School Bus!
This story is all about making the bus feel friendly, which is a lovely way to practise what kindness and inclusion look like in real life.
As you read together, you and your child will meet new friends like Aisha, who wears hearing aids, and Ben, who uses a wheelchair.
Swish and Swipe help explain these differences in a calm, positive way, reminding us that bodies and brains can work differently —
and that’s okay.
The heart of this book is the idea that children can be curious and kind at the same time. Swipe asks questions, Swish answers gently, and Emily learns a simple, helpful tip: look at someone when you speak and talk clearly. Then she tries it out for herself.
As you share the pages together, you might like to pause and try these little “Bus Friendly” moments:
Spot the kindness: Who helps someone feel welcome?
Practise the tip: Can we look at each other and speak clearly like Emily does?
Celebrate differences: What makes each child special on the School Bus?
And if your child is heading into school feeling wobbly, this book offers a reassuring message: friendship can start small, with a wave, a compliment, or sharing something as simple as a sticker.
