This magical story follows three children living in a tower block,
as they embark on a fantastical adventure which helps them see
their home in a new light. A deeply personal story written by
multi-award winning poet and Waterstones Children's Laureate Joseph
Coelho, drawn from his own experience growing up in a tower block
and looking for adventure. This story is a celebration of, and a
reclaiming of tower blocks as a place where magic and adventure can
happen. It's a modern-day fable that shows the children of a tower
block travelling to a strange, magical world inside a tree and
meeting an old man with supernatural powers, only to realise that
the magic they'd been looking for had been in their tower all
along. Beautiful illustrations complement the poetic narrative,
creating an enchanting story which children and adults alike will
fall in love with. This powerful story is about how society
separates 'urban' spaces from the countryside, but the reality is
that nature is everywhere, and everyone should have access to it.
