Sidewalk Flowers

<p><strong>Winner of the Governor General's Literary Award for Children's Illustrated Book</strong></p><br /><p><strong>A New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year</strong></p><br /><p>In this wordless picture book, a little girl collects wildflowers while her distracted father pays her little attention. Each flower becomes a gift, and whether the gift is noticed or ignored, both giver and recipient are transformed by their encounter. </p><p> “Written” by award-winning poet JonArno Lawson and brought to life by illustrator Sydney Smith, <em>Sidewalk Flowers</em> is an ode to the importance of small things, small people and small gestures. </p>
