Description
''Small in the City' is the best picture book I've seen so far this year, and among the most moving I
know. For the right child it will be revelatory.'—The New York Times Book Review 'Some
picture books make you want to hug them to your chest and not let go until the fullness in your
heart subsides. 'Small in the City', a work of surpassing poignancy and understanding by
Canadian author-illustrator Sydney Smith, is one of them.'—The Wall Street Journal Â
''Small in the City' is full of faith and compassion, and gorgeous to look at, as well.'—The
Washington Post  ★ 'Young readers will feel their hearts constrict, as they all know what it's
like to confront a towering, intimidating world. . . . Extraordinary, emotional, and beautifully
rendered.'—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review ★ 'This emotionally resonant ode to the
resilience of small creatures in a big, loud world is tender and timeless—and a masterful merging
of art and text.'—The Horn Book, Starred Review ★ 'The ink, watercolor, gouache pictures
have a unique, sometimes startling look as they divide into strips or fill the pages. They capture
both the city's pace and its stark beauty, even on a raw winter's day. Smith's art has been award
winning, but here he becomes author as well as illustrator. He does both titles proud in this stirring
piece.'—Booklist, Starred Review ★ ' The use of line, reflection, and perspective masterfully
evoke a bustling gray city, making this thoughtful book an artful choice'—School Library Journal
, Starred Review  ★ 'Small in the City is an unusual, useful parable, offering hope and
reassurance for any young reader in the midst of a worrisome or frightening situation, whether it's
a missing pet or something else―or simply life itself.'—BookPage, Starred Review
★ 'The atmosphere will draw listeners in immediately . . . and many youngsters will appreciate
the recognition of how sensorily overwhelming a cityscape can be and the tips for finding smaller
pools of quiet and respite.'—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Starred Review
 ★ 'Smith's understated portrait of longing for the return of a beloved family member takes
readers on a quiet but powerful emotional journey . . . The story's spotlight is not on the loss of the
pet, or on its return, but on the state of suspension in between—a mixture of grief, resignation,
and patient waiting—and the independent child narrator's loving regard for the animal as an
autonomous being.'—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review ★ 'the images do most of the
talking. They range from modest vignettes of city life--a portion of wire fencing, a swatch of
building--to showstoppers including a fractured illustration of the downcast boy's funhouse-like
reflection in a mirrored-glass skyscraper. . . . heartrending.'—Shelf Awareness, Starred Review
