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 Award for Writer
A New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Book of the Year
An ALA Notable Children's Book
A Capitol Choices Noteworthy Title

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.

In the first book that he has both written and illustrated, award-winning artist Sydney Smith spins a quiet, contemplative tale about seeing a big world through little eyes.

Clear skin + glow = skincare unlocked
Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This mist makes my skin feel so soft and hydrated! I use it after cleansing or whenever I need a glow boost. Smells amazing and never irritates my skin total staple in my routine! These two are a match made in skincare heaven! The pads keep my breakouts under control, and the rose mist adds the perfect glow and hydration. Together they make my routine feel like a mini spa moment.

One of my favorites!
Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is one of my favorite sprays. It feels so good, gentle on my skin, I personally like the smell because it smells like roses. It moisturizes my skin, I like to put it on even in the middle of the day over my makeup, it seems to freshen it up. My skin loves this spray, it's very refreshing. I will definitely be buying again.

My Favorite Reasonably Priced Facial Toner
Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 3 ounce (Pack of 1)
This toner is always in my medicine cabinet. I love it. I use it every time after washing my face and prior to applying moisturizer. The rose scent is my perfect, not too overpowering or synthetic. I usually purchase the large size to refill my small spritzer size.

100% Worth a Try!
Listen to me carefully: I haven’t been this excited about a skincare product in a LONG time, and I try a lot of new products every year. I had just tried a new “viral” makeup primer that sucked every ounce of moisture out of my already dry skin in one day, ruining my skin barrier and making anything but water sting on my face, so I decided to give this a try. The consistency is light when applying, and not heavy- but you can feel that you have a protective moisturizing layer over the skin. The biggest thing? NO STINGING even on red, dry, irritated skin! Centella really is the best soothing ingredient I’ve tried. It gives a soft glow without looking oily. I haven’t had a “holy grail” product in years, until now!
