Book excerpt: It can be a little scary to be small in a big city, but this child has some good advice for a very special friend in need. Winner of the Ezra Jack Keats Award A New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Book of the Year Winner of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal It can be a little scary to be small in a big city, but it helps to know you're not alone. When you're small in the city, people don't see you, and loud sounds can scare you, and knowing what to do is sometimes hard. But this little kid knows what it's like, and knows the neighborhood. And a little friendly advice can go a long way. Alleys can be good shortcuts, but some are too dark. Or, there are lots of good hiding places in the city, like under a mulberry bush or up a walnut tree. And, if the city gets to be too much, you're always welcome home, where it's safe and quiet. In 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.

Download or read book Knickers with a Twist written by Mike Stenson and published by Rowanvale Books. This book was released on 2014-05-31 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mike Stenson’s Knickers with a Twist, life’s everyday occurrences, observations and imaginings are detailed in rhyming verse, all with a dash of humour, and often with a hint of self-recognition! The interesting ‘twist’ in this new collection comes with the individual preambles to each and every poem, hinting at the source of their inspiration. Some poems are inspired by a single but true occurrence observed by the author, others by snippets of overheard conversations, or just pure imagination; all have been blended with humour to spark that personal inner thought that ignites our imagination. This collection of humorous, and often exaggerated, observations of everyday life will appeal to readers aging (as the poet puts it!) from teens to termination.
