A warm and richly satisfying story from an award-winning picture book duo about a little boy with a big imagination who learns that you can' t know anyone just by looking at them. Set in a bustling city, and full of a family love that binds even in difficult circumstances. Milo is on a train journey through the city with his older sister, looking at the faces of the other passengers and drawing pictures of their lives. The whiskered man with a crossword puzzle he imagines playing solitaire in a cluttered flat full of pets. The little boy in bright white trainers he imagines living in a castle with a moat and a butler. But when the little boy gets off at the same stop and joins the same queue as him, Milo realises that you can' t judge by appearances and that we are all more alike than we are different: both boys are visiting their mothers in prison. A hugely enjoyable picture book, full of things both to look at and to talk about. Anyone who has ever travelled on public transport will relate to Milo' s journey.
