Children’s / Teenage personal and social topics: Self-awareness and self-esteem
HarperCollins Publishers Inc Hello Universe A Newbery Award Winner
Book SynopsisTrade Review“A charming, intriguingly plotted novel by Erin Entrada Kelly. ...As she skillfully intercuts these four narratives, Kelly builds suspense and fosters empathy for her characters...As the connections deepen, it seems that this “big, mysterious, fickle” universe might harbor friendship and self-awareness for each.” -- Washington Post★ “Kelly’s inventive story...is told from several supremely well-crafted perspectives. …The short chapters, compelling characters, and age-appropriate suspense will hook young readers immediately. …An original and resonant exploration of interconnectedness and friendship.” -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)★ “Four middle-schoolers’ fates intertwine one summer in Kelly’s touching tale of friendship. . . . Chapters alternate between the four kids’ perspectives, infusing the story with their unique interests, backgrounds, beliefs, and doubts. …Readers will be instantly engrossed in this relatable neighborhood adventure and its eclectic cast.” -- Booklist (starred review)★ “Plucky protagonists and a deftly woven story will appeal to anyone who has ever felt a bit lost in the universe. Readers across the board will flock to this book that has something for nearly everyone—humor, bullying, self-acceptance, cross-generational relationships, and a smartly fateful ending.” -- School Library Journal (starred review)★ “Kelly offers up a charming novel about a serendipitous friendship that forms among a trio of sixth graders after a bully’s heartless act brings them together. ...Infused with humor and hope, this book deftly conveys messages of resilience and self-acceptance through simple acts of everyday courage.” -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Kelly creates rich and distinctive characters…through Kelly’s playful, inventive plotting, Virgil, Valencia, Kaori and Chet all confront `the universe’ in their own way. In the process, Kelly gives this hope to young readers: we can each discover our inner hero and transform even our toughest struggles.” -- Shelf Awareness“Told in alternating perspectives of the three kid-heroes and one villain...the children’s inner lives are distinctive, and each rings true.” -- Horn Book Magazine★ “Through Kelly’s playful, inventive plotting, Virgil, Valencia, Kaori and Chet all confront `the universe’ in their own way. In the process, Kelly gives this hope to young readers: we can each discover our inner hero and transform even our toughest struggles by...reaching out to friends and loved ones.” -- Shelf Awareness (starred review)“Folklore, fairy tales, astrology, mysticism and dreams all mingle together to create a wonderful, fantastical and unique world...there is so much for every reader contained within.” -- BookPage“Fate seems to be trying to bring Valencia and Virgil together, according to Kaori, but it’s sure not taking any sort of direct route. …There’s a touch of Snyder’s classic The Egypt Game here, as a group of disparate youngsters make their own maybe-magic…and find surprising bonds.” -- Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books“Fate—or something—works in surprising ways in this funny, empathetic look at connecting with others in a universe often harsh and inscrutable but, happily, just as often benevolent.” -- Cleveland Plain Dealer“Suspenseful, quirky and heartwarming, Hello, Universe makes the world a little smaller, and we are better for that.” -- NPR

Medina’s new book–and the third in her “I Will” series—seeks to help children point to and name 14 different emotions. The illustrations depict a diverse group of children and a variety of skin tones; the pairings will elicit conversations. Perfect for parents, teachers, psychologists, and counselors to share with young children to help them validate, understand, and even regulate their emotions." — School Library Journal (starred review) Belpré Award–winning Medina ... sets up this picture book with the question, “Do you feel….” Each subsequent spread lists an emotion accompanied by two illustrations. One shows the feeling in action, for example, a light-skinned child splashing in a puddle to depict “happy.” The other is a simple line drawing of a face (for “happy,” a teal face with smiling eyes and a large grin). The book concludes, “All feelings are valid. It is what we do with them that matters.” Medina’s naming ... of human emotions are empowering for little readers and a starting place for conversations with caregivers. — Kirkus Reviews
