Description

A wordless picture book for the very young – bursting with green! – which celebrates community, gardening and the power of plants to bring people together.

Oscar’s mum has to go away, just for a little while. So Oscar has come to stay with his nana. Oscar likes being with Nana in her tower block, but he really misses his mum, too. So, one day, Nana has an idea. Together, they carefully sow seeds – lots and lots of seeds! And then they water them, and wait… And the seeds start to grow! And the flowers begin to burst! There are plants everywhere. But, what to do with them all? In a timely silent narrative for the youngest readers – gorgeously illustrated with graphic panels and sweeping spreads that evoke the urban bustle of a busy high-rise – Lauren Tobia shows how each individual, each child, can bring lushness and vitality to a community.

• Lauren Tobia’s authorial debut will encourage community building, and is a celebration of a child spreading their own particular breed of joy.
• Resonating with anyone who has been apart from someone they love, this charming, tender story depicts channeling emotions into something positive.
• Green and lush, a tale of nurturing plants and flowers in an urban setting. Lauren’s pictures show the step-by-step process of how to plant seeds and look after them.
