We're delighted to welcome Caldecott honoree LeUyen Pham for the launch of her beautiful picture book, INSIDE OUTSIDE. It's a moving book celebrating essential workers and the community coming together to face the challenges of the global COVID-19 pandemic. We can't imagine anyone else who could write this book the way LeUyen can, with her way of connecting with young people. Scenes depict the way that nature began to return when people stopped driving so much, the way families came together inside their homes, and how they joined with neighbors to do good outside in their communities. Guiding the reader through the story is a black cat, navigating all of the spaces that people have traveled, and leading readers into renewal in the form of a spring season that represents an emergence into kindness that was first cultivated during the outbreak.

LeUyen has kindly signed bookplates for everyone purchasing her new book with An Unlikely Story, while supplies last! When ordering your book please include that you would like a signed bookplate in the “order comments” section when checking out on our website.
