Baldwin's Big Adventure — Annie Auerbach

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, but in reality, aspires to be like his father, Big Al, the most famous of the world’s steam engines—but new and powerful diesel engines were now replacing the much older steam engines. After Big Al doesn’t return after a long journey, Baldwin sets out along the wide-open rails in search of his father along with his best friends 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 out with just a small, unassuming switcher train with a giant heart!
