Out of My Mind is as popular as ever and now, in 2021, we're finally seeing a sequel. Out of My Heart just came out yesterday and is the official continuation of Melody's story. I interview Sharon Draper about the continuation.
As you may know, my day job is as a librarian but not, as it happens, a librarian of children's literature specifically. A lot of days I spend my time sorting through all the new releases for adults (horrors!). But since my heart is firmly ensconced in the world of books for kids, I always note when a book has some connection to literature for the young. Today, I'd like to introduce you to six 2019 titles that may be worth noting.
