Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

In this wordless, beautifully illustrated picture book from award-winning poet JonArno Lawson, a little girl collects wild flowers while her distracted father pays her - and their surroundings - little attention. Each flower the little girl gathers becomes a gift for a person or animal, and whether the gift is noticed or ignored, both giver and recipient are transformed by their encounter. An ode to the importance of small things, small people and small gestures, Footpath Flowers is a quiet but powerful testament to the joy that children can find in ordinary things and the mutual value of giving.

Revue de presse :

"This is [a] book to look at over [and over] again, there are new discoveries every time." --The Guardian

"...this is an anthem for kindness, for beauty in unlikely places and for the things a child sees that adults don't." --Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times

"Footpath Flowers, cleverly and beautifully illustrated in monotones with only the occasional splashes of colour, effectively and evocatively leads the reader to explore messages and inferences from the simple story of a child's capacity for finding joy in small things." --The School Librarian
