The dynamic, multiple award-winning duo Matt de La Peña and Christian Robinson are back in another thought-provoking, conversation-starting tale about a boy and his inquisitive mind. While riding the subway, Milo lets his imagination wander as he assumes what the other passengers’ lives are like - a boy that’s catered to by a butler, a woman on her way to get married, a lonely businessman. Is anything as it seems or has Milo’s imagination jumped to conclusions? A terrific, important read-aloud but also versatile for independent readers and adults.

The team behind the Newberry 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.

Why doesn't the author read aloud in Spanish?

It’s a sad story about a screwed up kid because his moms in jail for whatever reason. It’s a reminder to all parents to grow up and be responsible adults.
