Trucks on Trucks

Sorche Fairbank lives outside of Boston, Massachusetts, and in New York's Hudson Valley. While the first picture books she ever loved tended to involve animals (church mice, an elephant king, circus koalas, a pig with a talking bone), her nephew's passion for stories about trucks won her over. She is the author of Trucks on Trucks, illustrated by Nik Henderson, and Good Luck, Ice Cream Truck!, illustrated by Terry Runyan.Nik Henderson was raised in Strafford, Missouri, on a small hobby farm surrounded by chickens, goats, ducks, and horses. Inspired by the hillside of the Ozarks, he began drawing and painting at a young age. He studied illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. The artist still lives in Strafford.

"The power of varied repetition hooks even readers who aren’t truck aficionados in a title that initially seems as literal as they come . . . But the arrival of less commonplace fare—a pink vehicle sporting painted daisies, and a green truck interacting with nothing at all—raises questions about what combination will turn up next. . . . [Will] draw plenty of laughs.” — Publishers Weekly“What could be better than a truck? Two trucks, one on top of the other! . . . A colorful picture book, which features a new combination or two on each double-page spread. . . . Created with gouache and digital elements, the vibrant illustrations show a strong sense of color, composition, and child appeal. . . . The book could be used for counting, identifying colors, or sorting by size. With eye-catching jacket art, this book will quickly find its audience.” — Booklist
