Small in the City

Resumen del libro

It can be a little scary to be small in a big city, but this child has some good advice for a very special friend in need.Winner of the Ezra Jack Keats AwardA New York TimesNew York Public Library Best Illustrated Book of the YearWinner of the CILIP Kate Greenaway MedalIt can be a little scary to be small in a big city, but it helps to know you're not alone.When you're small in the city, people don't see you, and loud sounds can scare you, and knowing what to do is sometimes hard. But this little kid knows what it's like, and knows the neighborhood. And a little friendly advice can go a long way.Alleys can be good shortcuts, but some are too dark.Or, there are lots of good hiding places in the city, like under a mulberry bush or up a walnut tree.And, if the city gets to be too much, you're always welcome home, where it's safe and quiet.Awardwinning artist Sydney Smith spins a quiet, contemplative tale about seeing a big world through little eyes.Winner of the Governor General's Literary AwardAn ALA Notable Children's BookA New York Times Best Children's BookA Wall Street Journal Best Children's Book of the YearAn NPR Best Kids Book of the Year A Capitol Choices Noteworthy TitleA Washington Post Best Children's Book of the YearA Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Best Picture Book of the YearNamed a Best Book of the Year by Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, the Horn Book, Shelf Awareness, and many more!A Booklist Editors' ChoiceA BCCB Blue Ribbon BookWinner of the German Youth Literature Prize
