Sydney Smith

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 AwardA New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Book of the YearWinner 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. 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.

From the Double Kate Greenaway Medal-winning creator of Small in the City and illustrator of Town Is by the Sea, Footpath Flowers, I Talk Like a River and My Baba's Garden comes a moving look at how memories are made.Tucked up in bed at their new flat, a boy and his mum share memories. Some are idyllic, like a picnic with Dad, but others are more surprising: a fall from a bike into soft piled hay, the smell of an old oil lamp when a rainstorm blew the power out.Now it’s just the two of them, and the house where all of those memories happened is far away. But maybe someday, this will be a favourite memory, too: happy and sad, an end and a beginning intertwined.Do You Remember? is another unforgettable book from award-winning author and illustrator Sydney Smith.

"Med hjälp av ljus och mörker ritar Sydney Smith fram både fina och smärtsamma minnen hos ett barn. Allt sett från den lillas vinkel i denna otroligt vackert illustrerade bilderbok." Shora Esmailian, SydsvenskanVad minns vi? Och vilka nya gemensamma minnen skapar vi? I Sydney Smiths nya bilderbok får vi en gripande skildring av minnet, genom ett barns perspektiv. Med perfekt tonträff skildras hur en pojke och hans mamma delar betydelsefulla minnen med varandra. Vi förstår snart att de tillsammans står på tröskeln till en ny tid, på en ny plats, med en ny och osäker framtid framför sig.Kommer du ihåg? är en personlig bilderbok, med förmågan att beröra oss alla. Vilka minnen väljer vi att återberätta för varandra? Och hur skapar vi nya minnen som formar vår framtid? Sydney Smith använder en ovanlig och modig berättarstruktur, som i samklang med hans vackra och känsliga bilder skapar en tät och barnnära bilderbok. Sydney Smith kallas ofta för ljusets mästare. När man läser den här boken förstår man varför!

From the multiple award-winning creator of Small in the City and the illustrator of I Talk Like a River comes a fresh and moving look at memories, filtered through the mind of a child. Winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Picture Book Award Tucked in bed at a new apartment, a boy and his mother trade favorite memories. Some are idyllic, like a picnic with Dad, but others are more surprising: a fall from a bike into soft piled hay, the smell of an old oil lamp when a rainstorm blew the power out. Now it's just the two of them, and the house where all those memories happened is far away. But maybe someday, this will be a favorite memory, too: happy and sad, an end and a beginning intertwined. In a series of warm and wistful vignettes, as achingly fleeting as childhood memories always become, Sydney Smith takes us into the mind of a young person processing a bevy of complex emotions during a major life change. Do You Remember? is a stirring meditation on holding fast to the best of the past, and choosing to believe in the future. Sydney Smith is the winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest international distinction given to authors and illustrators of children's books.
