"an imaginative taxonomy of houses and a celebration of the wildly different kinds of people who call them home".

Sidewalk Flowers by poet JonArno Lawson and illustrator Sydney Smith

"...tells the wordless story of a little girl on her way home with her device-distracted father, a contemporary Little Red Riding Hood walking through the urban forest. Along the way, she collects wildflowers and leaves them as silent gifts for her fellow participants in this pulsating mystery we call life — the homeless man sleeping on a park bench, the sparrow having completed its earthly hours, the neighbor’s dog and, finally, her mother’s and brothers’ hair."
