Milo imagina el mundo

Escrito por Matt de la Peña

Narrado por Alejandro Vargas-Lugo

Milo hace un largo viaje en metro. Para pasar el tiempo, observa a la gente a su alrededor y hace dibujos de cómo se imagina que son sus vidas.
 
Está el hombre de bigotes con un crucigrama; Milo lo dibuja jugando al solitario en un apartamento desordenado. Está la mujer vestida de novia; Milo la dibuja en una gran ceremonia en la catedral. Y luego está el chico del traje; Milo lo dibuja llegando a su hogar, que es un castillo.
 
¿Pero qué pasa si la vida de cada uno es diferente de lo que Milo imaginó inicialmente?
 
De los creadores galardonados Matt de la Peña y Christian Robinson nos llega este oportuno e importante álbum ilustrado sobre cómo no se puede conocer realmente la historia de alguien con solo mirarlo.

Milo Imagines the World:
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 is a shook-up soda..."
Loved the words and pictures so much. So great.

If there is anything that causes us trouble, it's our own unconscious biases and our failure to acknowledge them. We look at people and imagine their story based on what we see on the surface.

I love Milo Imagines the World for this very reason. You have a young child exploring their imagination and creating stories for the people he encounters. During his trip he realizes there can be a lot more to people than what he sees. We as readers learn this about Milo as well.

This was a great book. Cleverly crafted and explores the simplistic things we do that are often the root of our judgements and biases.
