When a famous bridge is scheduled to be torn down and replaced, people from all over gather to honor the beloved landmark. But to one woman, once a little girl, it's more than just a bridge. It's a friendly face and comforting structure she grew up caring about. When the busy bridge came down, she said farewell to her old friend before it got the break it deserved.

The Busy Bridge is a poetic book that shows the history of a bridge that outlasted its predicted life span, carried more weight than it was designed to, and even claimed the fame of being the longest bridge in the state. Though a new bridge with a new name took its place, it will always be referred to as the Tappan Zee Bridge.

A story creatively written for readers of all ages; discover how one bridge brought people together, carried physical and emotional "tolls," and reminded travelers they were loved.

A heartwarming story that demonstrates how a simple smile or act of kindness can change a person's life.

Industry Reviews

"A heartwarming story that teaches children of all ages a simple yet profound truth; it's not WHAT we look at that matters; it's the lens we use when we SEE and experience it. The little girl views the bridge with her heart, and it's from this loving perspective of awe that she is able to experience its majesty and magic." Debbie Maron, Certified Professional Life Coach, CPLC

"Shane captures the true spirit and history of the Tappan Zee Bridge, along with the affection so many felt for it, in this book that readers of all ages can appreciate and learn from." Mike Lawler, New York State Assemblyman

"I love your book about the happy bridge." Student at Windy Ridge School

"A reflective tribute to an iconic bridge with a touching story of growth, change, and the power of giving back to the environment. This beautifully illustrated book shows a child's connection to the world around her and her observations of the burdens carried by others through time. It shows change, hope, and repurpose in a constantly changing world." Helena Fotopoulos, LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, Mental Health Clinician

"My favorite part was when the bridge gave people hope." Student at Windy Ridge School
