A little girl picks flowers as she walks hand in hand with her father through a gray city. Each flower becomes a gift that leaves an unmistakable trail of beauty: a path of flowers. This wordless book, conceived by Poet Laureate JonArno Lawson and illustrated by Sydney Smith, is an ode to the importance of small gestures, which can transform our surroundings. Sydney manages to materialize emotion and generosity in the little girl's face and body language, and she does so with extraordinary subtlety in these black and white illustrations splashed with color. A visual book that eloquently narrates the beauty of routine through a childhood experience in which the ordinary becomes extraordinary. A subtle critique of modern life that demonstrates that, sometimes, it takes a child to see what adults are unable to discover.
