All the Blues in the Sky
by Renée Watson
🏆 2026 Newbery Medal
🏆 2026 Audie Awards Best Audiobook for Middle Grade
This is a tender story in verse about 13-year-old Sage, who is grieving for her best friend who has died in a traffic accident. The book explores Sage’s feelings of guilt and anger, her resilience, and her gradual realisation that sadness and joy do coexist in life. A beautiful meditation on coming to terms with loss.
