Winner of the Governor General's Literary Award for Children's Illustrated Book A New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year 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. “Written” by award-winning poet JonArno Lawson and brought to life by illustrator Sydney Smith, Sidewalk Flowers is an ode to the importance of small things, small people and small gestures. Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.7 Use illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events.
JonArno Lawson is a three-time winner of the Lion and the Unicorn Award for Excellence in North American Children’s Poetry, and the author of numerous books for children and adults, including Enjoy It While It Hurts, Down in the Bottom of the Bottom of the Box, and Think Again.

Since graduating from NSCAD University, he has illustrated multiple children’s books and he has received awards for his illustrations, including the Lillian Shepard Memorial Award for Excellence in Illustration.

Trying to be too cute.
Drawing is not very good. There is nothing subtle in the way the daughter and her father are drawn. Too much of caricatures. Also in every page, only colored image is the daughter's read coat. In the end, it gets tiresome.

Sweet story with lovely illustrations
This is a lovely book. People who know downtown Toronto will recognize some of the neighborhoods shown in the illustrations. My 2 year old daughter really enjoys this book and I enjoy telling her the story in my own words each time.

muy bonito
Un libro muy lindo cuando se explica, es difícil explicar que la niña arranque las flores pero el mensaje final de hacer actos por los demás es muy bonito, para niños de 2 1/2 hasta 5 años funciona muy bien

Beautiful and full of meaning
This book is quiet in the best way possible! The illustrations move from black and white to colorful, expressing the inner world and mood of the main character. There are subtle internal jokes, such as the only person on the crosswalk illustrated with color (not Black and White), was a woman reading a book. Lovely and beautiful. My 3-year old son loves it, and each page is a wonderful conversation started.

Splendide illustrazioni
Splendide illustrazioni per una storia senza parole, da inventare con i propri bambini, seguendo la piccola della copertina nel suo viaggio e nella sua raccolta di fiori attraverso la città.
