It can be a little scary to be small in a big city, but this child has some good advice for a very special friend in need.

Winner of the Ezra Jack Keats Award for Writer
A New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Book of the Year
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.

Easy to use
I recently got one of those large body pillows that people usually use for pregnancy. Unfortunately, it was a little understuffed for my liking, and it isn't stuffed/stitched in a way that keeps the filling from moving around. The filling was bunching in places and sparse in others, causing it to be uneven. Fortunately, the pillow had a cover, and the core had a zipper where I could easily access the stuffing. I decided to try this filling to make up for the gaps. It worked great. I grabbed the stuffing and put it directly into the pillow. I did not allow it to expand fully before stuffing. I probably should have. But this was super easy to use and absolutely solved my problem. It doesn't smell great. There is definitely some smell that could probably be cleared by leaving it to air out for a while. I stuffed it right into the pillow and didn't use it until later that night. It wasn't so strong that it could be smelled through the pillow covering and the pillowcase.

A little goes a long way
I used this to fill a decorative pillow cover, and it worked out wonderful. The foam makes it so comfortable to lay your head on or just lean against. So much more comfortable than the poly fill. Also, a little goes a long way. Great value for this product.

Chemical smell
It fulfilled my purpose but it smells really bad. Very chemical smell, hoping it airs out after a couple days. I used it to refill a pillow and didn’t notice until I had already finished.
