About this deal

It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything.

Milo wonders if perhaps the little boy in bright white trainers is living in a castle with a moat and a butler. 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. 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. There seem to be ‘ wedding dressed’ people and a ‘ dog peeking of a‘ handbag, alongside a ‘ whiskered man’ and a ‘ business man‘ with a ‘ blank, lonely face’.Award winning team Matt De La Peña and Matt Robinson of Last Stop on Market Street have created an outstanding picture book recommended for readers of all ages.

Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling. So while I love this book for the lessons it teaches, and for the final page show a reunited family, it also will cause a lot of unanswerable questions and is not exactly ideal bedtime fare.Matt de la Pena and Christian Robinson once again deliver a hugely powerful and enjoyable picture book, full of rich details both to look at and to talk about. This would be an excellent book to share with school-age children to spark conversations about prejudice, unconscious bias as well as thinking about universally shared experiences of family, love and hope.

The book is fairly text heavy, but for me the real story is wordless: it is told through Milo’s drawings. The contrast between Milo’s crayon drawn imaginings, and thereafter his cluttered, pulsing train journey are skilled and telling. 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 picture book that’s sure to become an instant classic.This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally). Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. Milo Imagines the World is a warm and richly satisfying story from the award-winning and New York Times bestselling picture book duo, about a little boy with a big imagination who learns that you can’t know anyone just by looking at them.
