What begins as a scary accident turns into a road trip adventure and then a lasting friendship between a truck driver and the moose who joins him for a ride.

This full-color picture book tells the story of Rus, a hardworking truck driver, who picks up a moose one night during his travels. As they journey south through the United States, they see things Moose has never seen before (including an Awazon (sic) facility) and have many adventures together.

Rus and Moose is the first picture book that Restless has acquired in English; the author is a young Chinese American immigrant fresh out of art school who wrote the book inspired by her husband’s real-life job, and is just at the cusp of a brilliant career as an artist and illustrator.

Arvustused

A delightful surprise, this story celebrates the work of long-haul trucking, often considered an unglamorous, even rough profession. Kirkus Reviews



Loosely sketched florals burst along the bottoms of pages and seep into scenes, communicating the expeditions breezy exuberance. . . . The camaraderie between Rus and Moose makes for a winsome picture book debut.

Publishers Weekly







"There are several lovely aspects to this book. First, it centers around an unexpected friendship and shows how very different personalities can still become close friends. Second, it introduces readers to the trucking profession and brings to light the life and duties of a trucker. Last, it highlights the importance of family, and in this case, shows the problem truckers have due to the regular and longer separations. In other words, there's all sorts of goodness in these pages."
