ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 
Online Family Program: Three Little Engines

Saturday, December 11, 2021

11 am

Free program for all ages

 

Graduation day is finally here! The Little Blue Engine, the Yellow Passenger Engine, and the Red Freight Engine are excited to take their final test of Engine School: making their first solo trip over the mountain. But each engine encounters different challenges and obstacles on their journey.

 

Join us online for a story time and meet-and-greet with Bob McKinnon, author of the New York Times bestseller, Three Little Engines, a modern retelling of the classic The Little Engine That Could. While the original asked children to believe in themselves (“I think I can”), Three Little Engines also asks us to believe in and help each other (“I think we can”).

 

Visit the Transit Museum Store online or in person to purchase a signed copy of the book.

 

Bob McKinnon is the Director of the Moving Up Media Lab, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to inspire Americans to reflect on who and what has contributed to where they end up in life. He is the author of the Moving Up Mondays newsletter and the book Actions Speak Loudest: Keeping Our Promise for a Better World. His work has been featured in The New York Times,  Esquire, The Boston Globe, PBS, NPR, Fast Company, and the Huffington Post. He is also an adjunct professor at both the Parsons School of Design and the Colin Powell School of Civic and Global Leadership, where he teaches courses on social mobility and the American Dream.
