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.

Fits really well, not too wide and sleeve length isn’t too short
Size: Medium, Color: Tinted Ice Light Wash
I’m presently surprised at how well this fits. My daughter is about 49” and 43lbs. She’s 8 years old. This jacket fits her well in a size small. It’s not short in the arms (problem I see with Carter’s and Osh gosh at times) and it’s not too baggy or made too wide. It’s slimming and unlike the other review, the material feels very similar to our Osh gosh Jean jacket we got last year. For the price this is a steal. Way better than target’s cat & jack.
