Milo Imagines The World

<p><b>Shortlisted for the Yoto Kate Greenaway Medal 2022.</b><br><br><b><i>Milo</i><i> Imagines the World </i>is a</b><b> warm and richly satisfying story from the award-winning and New York Times bestselling picture book duo</b><b>, about a little boy with a big imagination who learns that you can't know anyone just by looking at them. Set in a bustling city, and full of a family love that binds even in difficult circumstances.</b><br><br>Milo is on a train journey through the city with his older sister, looking at the faces of the other passengers and drawing pictures of their lives. Milo wonders if perhaps the little boy in bright white trainers is living in a castle with a moat and a butler. But when the little boy gets off at the same stop and joins the same queue as him, Milo realises that you can't judge by appearances and that we are all more alike than we are different: both boys are visiting their mothers in prison.<br><br>Matt de la Peña 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. Anyone who has ever travelled on public transport will relate to Milo's journey.</p>
