A Bus Called Heaven by Bob Graham

A Bus Called Heaven by Bob Graham

Could a broken-down bus really bring a whole city neighborhood together? Could it all start with a small girl named Stella?

One morning in front of Stella's house, an abandoned bus appears, looking sad as a whale on a beach. On its front, held up with packing tape, is a hand-painted sign that says Heaven. Right away, the bus brings change to Stella's street when people stop to talk about it instead of rushing by. And as Stella looks past all the empty bottles and cans inside, as she sees the sparrows nesting in the engine, she changes, too. This bus could be ours, she declares. With a master's eye for finding the magic in the mundane, Bob Graham creates an encouraging story about community -- a whimsical tale about neighbors of all ages and stripes coming together, and about one little girl who comes into her own.

Established by House Resolution 1 in May 2008, the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism was chaired by former Senator Bob Graham. Members of this bi-partisan committee included Vice-Chairman Jim Talent, Timothy J. Roemer, Wendy R. Sherman, Graham T. Allison, Richard Verma, Henry Sokolski, Stephen Rademaker, and Robin Cleveland.

Bob Graham is a retired US Senator, who served three terms representing Florida. While recognized for his leadership on issues ranging from health care to environmental preservation, Senator Graham is best known for his 10 years of service on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, including 18 months as chairman in 2001-2002, during which he cochaired the House-Senate Joint Inquiry into the intelligence community's failures prior to 9/11. Following the release of a declassified version of the Joint Inquiry's final report in July 2003, Senator Graham advocated reform of the intelligence community and sponsored legislation to bring about needed changes.
