Coelho, drawn from his own experience growing up in a tower block

reclaiming of tower blocks as a place where magic and adventure can

the magic they'd been looking for had been in their tower all
along. Beautiful illustrations complement the poetic narrative,

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.
