Books with title Inside, Outside

The perfect book for Mother's Day! A mother has lots of preparation to do when expecting a baby--whether she's a bird weaving a nest in the tree outside, or a woman setting up a nursery inside her home. In this heartwarming picture book, two mothers share a common love of their babies, until one day it's time for Mama Outside to follow her babies into the sky and fly away. Dianna Hutts Aston details the experience of motherhood in lyrical prose, and Susan Gaber's illustrations beautifully render the inside and outside lives of two new mothers.

“Eileen Wiard’s debut novel hums with a rich understanding of the challenges kids face daily around identity, acceptance, and tough life choices. As 13-year-old Crystal navigates the difficult terrain of being one of a few African American students in a mostly white suburban school, she learns firsthand the pain of being an outsider. It isn’t until she meets Lee, an immigrant boy from Thailand who suspects he may be gay, that she begins to think about the full meaning of diversity. Crystal is such a generous, warmhearted guide that I would follow her anywhere, and Inside Outsiders is a gentle and compelling read.”-— SUMMER WOOD, author of Raising Wrecker“A heartwarming, no-nonsense story — recommended reading for anyone who thinks one kid can’t make a difference and build a community.”— MINROSE GWIN, author of The Queen of Palmyra
