This thought provoking picture book took a turn I was not expecting at all. If you have no exposure to it, the less said the better. Highly recommended, my own branch doesn't carry this but I'm hoping we can add a copy for our collection soon. Terrific illustrations by Christian Robinson.
Milo, “excitement stacked on top of worry on top of confusion on top of love,” rides the subway with his sister, and, on the way, Milo draws his ideas of the stories he sees. It is only when he realizes that the story he has imagined about a neatly-dressed boy is wrong, that he and the boy are headed to the same place, that he chooses to reimagine the stories of all the people he has seen on his trip.
A poignant story that gently tugs at us to be careful about judging others, with all the expressive language we have come to expect from Matt de la Pena and the evocative pictures we love to see from Christian Robinson.
