In 3 Little Passengers readers are treated to a new twist on an old classic! Three siblings are off to visit their grand-ma-ma who lives over the hills and far away. But, as they prepare for the long drive, their family discovers a mix up with their car seats! One is too small; one is too big, and one is just right! Find out how their grown-ups solve this problem so that they all can safely be on their way! As with other books by Arballo, readers are provided with a positive, relatable view of car seats and car seat safety, making kids less likely to resist buckling up with each new car ride in their daily lives. Grown-ups are reminded of the different types of car seats and the importance of properly installing each one. In the long run, 3 Little Passengers is a creative, fun approach to reinforcing lifelong vehicle safety habits!

Joanne Arballo is co-founder of the non-profit Car Seats for Christy, a Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) and dedicated child passenger safety advocate. She set out to write car seat-themed children's stories as she was about to become a grandma, wanted to buy her grandbaby a book about car seats and discovered that the only one on the market was more than 20 years old! That experience led to her first bedtime story, Good Night Car Seat – a big hit with her granddaughter and the start of a wonderful collaboration with her talented teenaged niece who brought the book to life with lovingly detailed illustrations. With "books by Jo," her goal is to reinforce child passenger safety for little passengers and their grownups while weaving in a lesson or two along the way. A graduate of Loyola Marymount University's School of Film and Television, she's an internal, media and crisis communications professional who earns a living crafting non-fiction for the corporate world. Arballo is an award-winning scriptwriter who has also been recognized for her volunteer work in the community. In addition to being one lucky grandma, she's a proud wife, and mom to four grown kids.
