Review

In Sidewalk Flowers a little girl takes a trip to the grocery store with her distracted father in a monochrome world. In the middle of this bleak world she begins collecting sidewalk flowers and giving them away to people as gifts, bringing color back into her world. Told completely in beautiful watercolor paintings, this wordless picture book shows the importance of noticing the beautiful things in life and the power of small acts of kindness. This book would probably be appreciated by ages 8+, but the wordless story could be for all ages. Highly Recommended. Sharon Tapia, Centennial Library Intern, Cedarville University
