Sydney Smith

Sydney Smith is an award-winning Canadian illustrator and author. He was born in rural Nova Scotia and started drawing at an early age. Since graduating from NSCAD University, he has illustrated multiple children’s books, including Town Is by the Sea, and Small in the City, which have both won the Kate Greenaway Medal. He was awarded the extremely prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award for illustration in 2024.

Praise for My Baba's Garden

It’s an extraordinary book about love and family, full of lyrical writing, and Smith’s illustrations are sublime. An original, heart-squeezing hug of a book.
