Seen from outside and then inside, London’s sights reveal the majesty that makes this city so intensely historic and uniquely civilized. Awakening all of the senses with her sweeping perspectives, vivid colors, and abundant details, artist Roxie Munro whisks readers to London—and what a feast for the eye that great city proves to be! Munro balances her playful sense of fun with taking the reader to the highlights of one of the world’s great capitals. Some of the big tourist spots are pictured—Buckingham Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament—but her inclusion of smaller venues, such as a New Oxford Street scene in the rain, is inspired, giving readers the daily flavor of London life. From riding atop a double-decker bus down Regent Street to watching the Queen’s Royal Procession, The Inside-Outside Book of London is a taste of all things London for children and tourists of all ages.

For fans of Casey McQuiston, Rachel Hawkins, and Rachel Dugan comes a story about bad allyship gone good. A Clueless and Emma for the modern age, this is a breezy but incisive tale of growing up, getting wise, and realizing every story needs a hero—sometimes it's just not you. When her best friend Hannah comes out the day before junior year, Daisy is all set to let her ally flag fly. Before you can spell LGBTQIA, she’s leading the charge to end their school’s antiquated ban on same-sex dates at dances—starting with homecoming. And if people assume Daisy herself is gay? Meh, so what. It’s all for Hannah, right? It’s all for the cause. What Daisy doesn’t expect is for “the cause” to blow up—thanks to Adam, the cute college journalist whose interview with Daisy for his college newspaper goes viral, catching fire in the national media. With the story spinning out of control, protesters gathering, Hannah left in the dust of Daisy’s good intentions, and Daisy’s attraction to Adam practically written in lights, Daisy finds herself caught between her bold plans, her bad decisions, and her big fat mouth. “Nuanced...This book will fly off the shelves” —VOYA, perfect score“Smart, funny, and revealing” —Vox.com“Recommend to fans of John Green and David Levithan” —SLJ“Compelling” —Booklist“A fresh, consistently engaging voice...The times are right for stories like [Daisy’s]” —BCCB“A progressive book in a new era, one of the first of its kind” —The Missourian

In the end, we agreed that we would be heading north toward LoDo: the Lower Downtown Historic District. Cecilia and I had arrived at the shelter from the south, so I had no idea what to expect in LoDo. But by traveling this way, we would pass by some of the richer suburbs, like Cherry Hills Village. The weather had been pretty good, but it was still the middle of the winter on the Front Range.

Outside In is a unique book, written from the point of view of Lisa Meryl, a precocious and perceptive 5th grader. As Lisa learns more about her teachers and their lives, she realizes that they are more than just the persona she meets in the classroom. Outside In tackles a wide range of disabilities and differences, including physical handicaps, sexual orientation, xenophobia, racial and age discrimination, and religious prejudice. It reminds readers that much of our education happens beyond the bounds of academic lessons. A book for students, teachers, parents, and friends of all ages, Outside In reminds each of us that tolerance begins by seeing people as human, by looking beyond what they present on the outside and finding out who they are on the inside.
