A gorgeously illustrated, modern retelling of the classic The Little Engine That Could, sharing the timely message that everyone's journey is different, and that sometimes, success comes from a helping hand.

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. Gorgeous illustrations by Lou Fancher and Steve Johnson combine with a poignant story told by Bob McKinnon to remind a new generation of readers to "think they can."

Bob McKinnon is author of the New York Times best seller, Three Little Engines and host of Attribution, a PBS podcast on success and gratitude. He lives in a small village north of New York City, near a train station with his wife, dog and three daughters. He writes and teaches about issues related to the American Dream and directs a nonprofit whose mission is to inspire people of all ages to reflect on who and what has helped them along the way.
