Even though de la Peña believes this is a diverse book that is not about diversity, this is a book that needs to be in a classroom. He creates diverse themes in the words he chooses and the values people have in our society. The illustrator, Christian Robinson also shows diversity within the pictures he creates for the pages. There is a wide range of ethnicities, skin color, social class, and ages throughout the entire book. All kids can relate to this book because it's a lesson that everyone needs to know, therefore it's not a book just about diversity. This book can provide opportunities to expand on critical literature. According to Rudine Sims Bishop, there is a three-pronged approach when we are providing children with a book similar to Last Stop of Market Street (Bishop, 2016). First we have to engage with the book. Students can easily be engaged by relating to a character or situation. I'm sure many students have wanted something that others had, just like CJ, but then they were reminded of other beauties around us. If students are able to connect to simple and complex concepts in the story, they can build on their deeper understanding of what the author's purpose or theme may be. The second approach is for students to "direct their attention to literary features."This could include images, word choices, or other curriculum focuses. Something that Bishop brought up was the verb choices that de la Peña made to describe a situation. This is another way to have students think deeper. They can wonder why and critique the author of the decisions they made to make the story. Finally, especially with books like Last Stop, we need students to understand social issues that are a part of the theme. We are doing so much for students when we are providing them with diverse texts. They can either relate to the texts and make them feel included in the community or they can learn something new. In Last Stop, it is never stated that CJ and his nana end at a soup kitchen. It is implied by the art provided by Robinson. It completely changes the story if you are able to understand the ending of the book. This is a social issue that some students may not know about, therefore introducing this topic can influence them to want to make a change in their society.
