The team behind the Newbery Medal winner and Caldecott Honor book Last Stop on Market Street and the award-winning New York Times bestseller Carmela Full of Wishes once again delivers a poignant and timely children’s book that’s sure to become an instant classic. But when the boy in the suit gets off on the same stop as Milo–walking the same path, going to the exact same place–Milo realizes that you can’t really know anyone just by looking at them. His story respects young readers by incorporating their complex interior worlds and the observant ways they attend to issues of class . I don't want to spoil the ending but it's a story about a boy named Milo and his sister who are riding the train, and on their ride, Milo draws pictures of the other passengers and makes up stories about who they are and where they're going.De la Peña’s fifth book, The Living, was a Junior Library Guild Selection, a 2014 Best Fiction for Young Adults and a Pura Belpré Author Honor Book.

The contrast between Milo’s crayon drawn imaginings, and thereafter his cluttered, pulsing train journey are skilled and telling. De la Peña’s descriptive language and Robinson’s innocent, endearing art make for another winning package… A memorable, thought-provoking story poised to make a difference for many. Many books are pure entertainment, but sometimes it's important to read stories that reflect reality. His second novel, Mexican WhiteBoy, was an ALA-YALSA Best Book for Young Adult (Top Ten Pick), a Notable Book for a Global Society, a Junior Library Guild Selection and a Bulletin Blue Ribbon Book.Readers of Milo Imagines the World will feel compassion stacked on top of heartache on top of humility on top of hope. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally).

Pictures brimming with activity, an endearing main character, and threads for thinking about art, families, and what we see in others make this a book that will hold up to many readings.Milo’s drawings help him understand the world in ways that just talking may not, echoing the value of art therapy for children in processing difficult experiences, as well as reminding us of the value of drawing as expression for everyone. There’s the whiskered man with the crossword puzzle; Milo imagines him playing solitaire in a cluttered apartment full of pets. For families to whom this circumstance is pertinent, this is an amazing book to help a child accept and feel comfortable with what is happening within their family.
