In this wordless, beautifully illustrated picture book from award-winning poet
JonArno Lawson, a little girl collects wild flowers while her distracted father
pays her and their surroundings little attention. Each flower the little
girl gathers becomes a gift for a person or animal, and whether the gift is
noticed or ignored, both giver and recipient are transformed by their
encounter. An ode to the importance of small things, small people and small
gestures, Footpath Flowers is a quiet but powerful testament to the joy that
children can find in ordinary things and the mutual value of giving.
