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.Milo is on a long subway ride with his older sister. To pass the time, he studies the faces around him and makes pictures of their lives. There’s the whiskered man with the crossword puzzle; Milo imagines him playing solitaire in a cluttered apartment full of pets. There’s the wedding-dressed woman with a little dog peeking out of her handbag; Milo imagines her in a grand cathedral ceremony. And then there’s the boy in the suit with the bright white sneakers; Milo imagines him arriving home to a castle with a drawbridge and a butler. 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.MILO IMAGINES THE WORLD 2021年2月出版Milo Imagines the World 是 Last Stop on Market Street《市場街最後一站》、Carmela Full of Wishes作者Matt de la Peña 與繪者Christian Robinson，再次合作的作品，出版日為2021年2月，首刷印量預計15萬本，一樣由美國企鵝蘭登集團出版。這本的主角是一個新銳藝術家Milo，他和姐姐搭著紐約市的地鐵時，他研究周圍乘客的容貌，然後揣摩想像每個乘客的日常生活。有個穿套裝搭配亮白球鞋的男孩上車，Milo幻想他住在有管家的城堡裡，但小男孩卻和Milo在同一站下車，他也要去探視在監獄裡的父母。他們的作品向來不簡單，不僅是各種獎項的常客，更是值得大家靜下心來好好細讀的作品。關於這個令人期待的新書的更多背後故事，可以前往Publishers Weekly網站閱讀。https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-book-news/article/83692-cover-reveal-milo-imagines-the-world.html?fbclid=IwAR2-EL-XEooJeyGPOkXvz_4ILuLj2hsjqVhvG91PPP0_b8EYDeQbQ4uuvA0
