About the Baldwins Big Adventure Hardcover

Baldwin is a simple Switcher Train whose job is to move trains, cars, and cabooses around the train yard, readying them for their long-haul journeys. In reality, he aspires to be like his father, Big Al, the most famous of the world's steam engines-but new and powerful diesel engines are now replacing the older steam engines. After Big Al doesn't return from a long journey, Baldwin sets out along the wide-open rails in search of his father, along with his best friend Bobber the caboose. Baldwin's Big Adventure is the story of the relationship between a son and father, friendship in the face of the unknown, and learning how to grow into who you want to become. This is a tale that continues to chug around every bend toward the horizon and ultimate goal-even if it starts with just a small, unassuming switcher train with a giant heart!
