For Kids and Their Grown-Ups: “Tiny Wonders” by Sally Soweol Han

For Kids and Their Grown-Ups: “Tiny Wonders” by Sally Soweol Han Review by Laura Frantz, collection development librarian April lives in a town that is gray and full of busy people not bothering to look at the world around them. April wants to change this. She thinks about her grandma who was never too busy and would talk to her about the secret language of flowers. Grandma’s favorite was dandelions. And their meaning is happiness. April embarks on a quest to find dandelions, and discovers many grown-ups are not fond of them. She finds herself wishing for a dandelion seed. And when her wish comes true, the result is transformative. Kids and grown-ups will connect with this picture book on many different levels. It speaks to taking time to slow down, savoring small moments, the power of intergenerational relationships, the value of patience, and the beauty of nature. The artwork is stunning with wonderful detailing found throughout. And the text is equally enchanting. This is author-illustrator Sally Soweol Han’s U.S. debut, and it is truly magical.
