I’ve a review over at BookPage of Thrity Umrigar’s Sugar in Milk (Running Press Kids, October 2020), illustrated by Khoa Le.

That review is here, and below at 7-Imp today are some spreads from the book.

“The king sighed impatiently. He snapped his fingers and ordered his servant to bring him an empty glass.”

“I looked around me, stopped. And then I took another step—into the dazzling light
of America. Nothing had changed. And yet, everything had.”

  1. I maintain that the very best thing about this burst of interest in diverse books is that we’re getting to see more and more fabulous diverse illustrators. The art here just blows the hair back!!
