Small in the City by Sydney Smith
5.0
Picture books can be such powerful things.
This one is beautiful and unexpected and meaningful. Sad, in that universal-understanding kind of way. I don't want to give away the premise, because the book has a bit of surprise in it, but it's just lovely.
Also, the illustrations are such a great companion to this: the bold sketches, the sparseness, the grim lines and the "small in the city" point-of-view angles really add to the impact of the story. And oh boy, what an impact it makes.
Warning: read this one with a Kleenex.
