The illustrations are very nicely done. And the storyline interesting.
The story is set in the winter. While this book doesn't have much written parts, it could lead to interesting conversations with your young ones.

Chosen as this year's Kate Greenaway Medal winner, Small in the City is a lovely picture-book about a young child making her way through a busy city. I particularly appreciated these wintry scenes, and I loved the fact that what I thought was a child's narrative about her own experience, was in fact addressed to her lost cat. The switch in perspective was eye-opening.

Ink and watercolour artwork matches the somber mood in this picture book about a child looking for a lost cat.
“Even the term “children‘s book” can be limiting. We all have limited ideas surrounding what it is to be a child and it‘s hard to dive deep when you are jumping from such a low height. Instead, we should be asking what is to be human, including children. And then just write for yourself.”
—Sydney Smith
