Dedie King, illus. by Judith Inglese. Satya House (Midpoint Trade, dist.), $17.95 (40p) ISBN 978-1-935874-21-8

A girl named Mila walks readers through a day in her life in Jaipur, India, in this seventh book in the I See the Sun series. Mixed-media illustrations incorporate torn paper, photo collage, and delicately drawn images of Mila, her family, friends, and others she meets at school, at a Bollywood movie theater, and around town. The story is translated into Hindi, and a glossary of more than a dozen Hindi words is included. As with earlier books in the series, it’s a gentle, intimate glimpse into the parallels and differences in the lives of children around the world. Ages 5–up. (June)
