John Williamson said HONY: Brandon Stanton's photographic tribute to his adopted city. New York City is many special things to different people. For some it's museums, for others the New York Public Library.

Brandon Stanton has done so much to help people SEE each other. Little Humans is fun, funny and wonderful. It is a Christmas present for all four of my grown daughters who are now also watching HONY and Stanton's photographer daily right along with me.. Wonderful book! Mary4 I absolutely love the photos in this book! It is so important to me that my kids recognize that there are all types of people in this world, our differences are what makes the world beautiful, and despite our differences, we have many things in common. This book allows me the opportunity to have that conversation regularly! Thank you, Brandon. You have done beautiful work!Side note: Other reviewe
