In the middle of winter, we could use a few flowers, couldn’t we? Today’s featured review brings you Sidewalk Flowers, written by JonArno Lawson and illustrated by Sydney Smith. The review was written by Hannah DeCamp, one of our Round 1 judges in the Fiction Picture Books category. Hannah, who is a bookseller and literacy advocate, among other things, has an abiding love of picture books and other books for children. About Sidewalk Flowers, Hannah said:
