But this little kid knows what it's like, and knows the neighborhood. And a little friendly advice can go a long way.\n\nAlleys can be good shortcuts, but some are too dark.\n\nOr, there are lots of good hiding places in the city, like under a mulberry bush or up a walnut tree.\n\nAnd, if the city gets to be too much, you're always welcome home, where it's safe and quiet.\n\nIn the first book that he has both written and illustrated, award-winning artist Sydney Smith spins a quiet, contemplative tale about seeing a big world through little eyes. He is the winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest international distinction given to authors and illustrators of children's books.\n\nWinner of the Governor General's Literary Award\nAn ALA Notable Children's Book\nA New York Times Best Children's Book\nA Wall Street Journal Best Children's Book of the Year\nAn NPR Best Kids Book of the Year\nA Capitol Choices Noteworthy Title\nA Washington Post Best Children's Book of the Year\nA Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Best Picture Book of the Year\nNamed a Best Book of the Year by Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, the Horn Book, Shelf Awareness, and many more!\nA Booklist Editors' Choice\nA BCCB Blue Ribbon Book\nWinner of the German Youth Literature Prize\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0823442616\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0823442616.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Smith, Sydney\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
