DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe first picture book that the award-winning Sydney Smith has both written and illustrated is a story about feeling small in the city — and finding your way home. On a snowy day in a big city, a little boy hops off a streetcar and walks through downtown, between office buildings, through parks and down busy streets. Along the way, he provides helpful tips about which alleys make good shortcuts, which trees to climb and where to find a friendly face. All the while, the boy searches for what he has lost ... The first book that award-winning illustrator Sydney Smith has written tells a story of what it means to get lost in the city, travel the wrong path and get caught in bad weather — and to ultimately find your way back home. His beautiful watercolour illustrations alternate between full spreads and small panels, evoking the sometimes overwhelming cacophony of urban sights and sounds, as well as the quiet moments that make all of us feel less small in the city.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 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.
