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.Â

bigger and bigger, until it starts to ruin all the children in the

with a 21st century quest. In Ancient Greece Theseus makes a

father. Each story tells of a boy becoming a man and discovering

Theo through 'those thin spaces where myth, magic and reality
combine'. Doubts, difficulties and dangers must be faced as Theo
discovers the man he will become.

Daphne is unbearably sad and adrift. She feels the painful loss of
her father acutely and seeks solace both in the security of her
local library and the escape her phone screen provides by blocking
out the world around her. As Daphne tries to make sense of what has
happened she recalls memories of shared times and stories past, and
in facing the darkness she finds a way back from the tangle of fear
and confusion, to feel connected once more with her friends and
family. The Girl Who Became a Tree sees Joseph Coelho deploy a wide
variety of poetic forms with consummate skill in its narration of
events. He seamlessly but searingly weaves together the ancient
legend of Daphne, who was turned into a tree to avoid the
attentions of the god Apollo, and a totally modern tale, mixing
real-life and fantasy, in which a latter-day Daphne seeks her own
freedom. This is a heart-stoppingly imaginative story told in
poems, at times bleak and even tragic, which is layered, rich and
ultimately a tour de force of poetic skill and energy.
