Děvčátko na procházce s roztržitým tatínkem sbírá kytičky, které prorůstají z chodníků a silnic, a každý kvítek někomu daruje.

Kniha získala kanadské národní ocenění Governor General’s Literary Award a mnohá další. „I obyčejná hra v sobě někdy ukrývá velké poselství.“ – Publishers Weekly

"In a beautifully detailed wordless picture book, a tumbledown building becomes home sweet home for a found family. A lonely little girl and her grandparent need to fill the run-down apartment in their building. But taking over the rooms above their shop will mean major renovations for the new occupants, and none of the potential renters can envision the possibilities of the space - until one special couple shows up. With their ingenuity, the little girl's big heart, and heaps of hard work, the desperate fixer-upper begins to change in lovely and surprising ways. In this bustling wordless picture book, JonArno Lawson's touching story and Qin Leng's gentle illustrations capture all angles of the building's transformation, as well as the evolving perspectives of the girl and her grandparent. A wordless picture book that celebrates the power of community, the joys of new friends and the magic that happens when you open your heart, and fill your home with love and joy."--Provided by publisher

A dazzling wordless picture book celebrates creative problem-solving, teamwork, and the sun-splashed wonder of a day at the beach. The creators of the acclaimed Over the Shop evoke a perfect summer beach day - and themes of creativity, cooperation, flexibility, and persistence - all without a word in this sun-warmed, salt-stained delight of a story. A busload of beachgoers spills out onto the sand for a day of fun and frolic. Three siblings begin work on a castle, patting and shaping the sand as the sun arcs over the sky. Time and again, their progress is halted: a windswept hat topples their creation; a toddler ambles through it; the tide creeps close, and then too close. Meeting each demolition with fresh determination, the builders outdo themselves time and again, until the moment arrives to pile back into the bus for home

What happens when a bird doesn't feel like a bird?

Poesie ganz ohne Worte. Ein kleines Mädchen geht mit ihrem Vater durch die Stadt. Überall sind Blumen. Die zarten Pflanzen bahnen sich ihren Weg durch die Ritzen im Beton und zwischen den Steinen am Straßenrand. Während der Vater achtlos an ihnen vorübergeht, entdeckt das kleine Mädchen die Blumen und deren Schönheit. Es pflückt sie und verschenkt sie wieder. Blumengeschenke, die dem grauen Alltag Farbe verleihen. Eine Bildergeschichte ohne Worte, die zunächst fast ausschließlich in schwarz und weiß gehalten ist. Mit jeder Geste des Mädchens aber, werden die Bilder farbiger, bis die Geschichte in üppiger Farbenpracht endet. Poetische Bilder machen die Bedeutung kleiner Gesten und der kindlichen Freude an alltäglichen Momenten lebendig.
