Brigg lives in a small, grey room in a large, grey city. When he finds a book in the library labelled 'Do Not Read', he cannot resist taking it home. In it, he comes upon pictures of bright, vibrant objects called flowers. He cannot find flowers anywhere in the city, but stumbles instead on a packet of seeds. This sets off a chain of events which bring about unexpected results, continuing to grow and bloom even after we have turned the last page. A deceptively simple and haunting story, beautifully and mysteriously illustrated, set in a bleak future metropolis.

John Light's enigmatic story is told with utter simplicity, but resonates long after we finish reading this book. His increasingly optimistic vision is hauntingly captured by Lisa Evans's beautiful and whimsical illustrations.

'This is a book for all ages, certainly one for me - a book that you must look at again and again, and share with all your friends. It really does remind us that books can work magic' Wendy Cooling, Children's Book Consultant
