En fortælling om at se en stor by gennem små øjne. Det kan være svært at være lille i byen, men alt bliver nemmere, hvis man ved, at man ikke er alene. Når man er lille i byen, ser folk dig ikke, høje lyde kan skræmme dig, og det er svært at vide, hvor man skal gå hen. Men denne her dreng ved, hvordan det er, han kender sit kvarter og kan give gode råd. En smukt illustreret og poetisk billedbog af den canadiske billedbogsillustrator og forfatter Sydney Smith. Han har vundet adskillige priser for sine bøger, blandt andet New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book of the Year, Publisher’s Weekly Best Books of the Year og TD Canadian Children’s Literature Award.

I know what it's like to be small in the city... Being small can be overwhelming in a city. People don't see you. The loud sounds of the sirens and cyclists can be scary. And the streets are so busy it can make your brain feel like there's too much stuff in it. But if you know where to find good hiding places, warm dryer vents that blow out hot steam that smells like summer, music to listen to or friends to say hi to, there can be comfort in the city, too. We follow our little protagonist, who knows all about what its like to be small in the city, as he gives his best advice for surviving there. As we turn the pages, Sydney Smith's masterful storytelling allows us to glimpse exactly who this advice is for, leading us to a powerful, heart-rending realization...

"Sydney Smiths förmåga att skapa mångtydighet ur enkelhet fascinerar stort." Smålandsposten"Liten i staden är årets bästa bilderbok och en av de mest berörande jag läst." New York Times"Vissa bilderböcker vill man bara krama hårt mot bröstet och känna hur hjärtat slår." Wall Street Journal Det kan vara läskigt att vara liten i en stor stad, men allt blir lättare om man vet att man inte är ensam. När man är liten i staden, så ser folk en inte, höga oväsen kan skrämma en, och det är svårt att veta vart man ska ta vägen. Men den här pojken vet hur det är, han kan sitt kvarter och några bra råd kan räcka långt. En gränd kan vara en bra genväg, men vissa gränder är för mörka. Det finns många bra gömställen också, som uppe i valnötsträdet. Och om staden bara blir för mycket är du alltid välkommen hem igen, där det är tryggt och varmt. Sydney Smiths bilderbok Liten i staden är den första som han både skrivit och illustrerat. Resultatet är en framtida klassiker, en berättelse om att se en stor stad genom små ögon. I tonsäker svensk översättning av författaren Katarina Kieri.

After her mother died 16 years ago, she raised her sisters and continues to run the household. At 31, she has never been tempted to put any man ahead of her father - until she meets Nathaniel, a gifted mathematician. Sofia is stalled at an early stage of development. Leo has decreed that she will never marry. But Sofia wants to live a normal life with her boyfriend Bobby. Cluny is Leo's youngest daughter, dazzlingly sexy, her father's favorite and a warrior queen. Ruthlessly determined to grasp the money and power, Christian must decide which one is the pot of gold - compliant, conventional Gloria or mutinous Cluny. He knows Gloria is the more suitable wife. But from the moment he first saw her, he was vitally attracted to Cluny. Cluny does all she can to stop the marriage scheme. But as the adversaries fight for dominance, Cluny fears that the unscrupulous Christian will find out the secret she's been hiding from her father ...
