Della is always on the lookout for can't-put-down, well-researched children's and YA nonfiction. If there is almost as much back matter as there is main text, she wants to read it. She is particularly interested in projects on labor history and climate change. Della is also interested in middle grade, YA, and graphic novel fantasy, mystery, and contemporary realistic fiction. She loves stories with thoughtful world building, a touch of humor, and characters who are questioning their place in the universe. Some forthcoming projects she has enjoyed editing include Breaking the Mold by Dana Alison Levy, an intellectually stimulating look at scientists working on climate change solutions for middle grade readers, and Stories of the Islands by Clar Angkasa, a rich graphic novel retelling of three Indonesian folktales emphasizing female relationships and empowerment. Some of her favorite reads include Somaiya Daud's Mirage, Juan Felipe Herrera's Jabberwalking, and Alice Faye Duncan's Memphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop: The Sanitation Strike of 1968.
