Winner of the 2026 Newbery Medal, ALL THE BLUES IN THE SKY by Renée Watson is a lyrical novel in verse about processing grief through the eyes of 13-year-old Sage. Read Booklist contributor Ashley Leffel's interview with Watson about tackling tough topics for MG and young YA readers: bit.ly/3O8K5B4

This quotation from Anne Frank is so scary and evocative of our current reality

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes...Families are torn apart and separated...Everyone is scared...the end is nowhere in sight"
My local bookstore just painted an Anne Frank quote on their front window. I plan to spend some money there this weekend.
