Gr 3–5—A dedication to trans activists and the inclusion of nonbinary characters allow a simple message of love and
acceptance to resonate subtly. In this wordless book, grandparent and child provide a welcome home for two
strangers, who set about transforming not just their home but the community. Every meticulously detailed spread
offers a heartwarming message of renewal, hope, friendship, and compassion.

On my list for Caldecott Winner, this is a stunning wordless book about a little girl bringing light, flowers, and compassion with her everywhere she goes.

Sidewalk Flowers by Sydney Smith is a wordless picture book that looks at urban life through the eyes of a young child, which focuses on the beauty in the everyday environment. She goes through the city, collecting flowers and discovering new things as she carries along. It's focus is on mindfulness and finding beauty in the ordinary.

Who DOESN"T want to go to the beach after this wordless book? I sure do!!!
