The Blurb On The Back:
One night, Jeremiah plants a packet of tiny sunflower seeds and makes a wish …
The next morning, a magical array of vines and leaves has burst through the ceiling of his apartment! When Jeremiah and his brother chase the plant up through the floors of their tower-block home, will they discover something even more magical along the way?
A glorious and uplifting story about the power of nature and community.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Lanisha Butterfield and Hoan Giang’s picture book is a luscious celebration of life, nature and community. The colours are vibrant and the illustrations packed with character and a sense of place and I liked the fact that there is also a subtle sense of grief in the background as Theo and Jeremiah are dealing with the death of their father. All in all it’s an entertaining read that shows the importance of neighbourhood and connection.
