This deeply personal picture book draws on award winning author Joseph Coelho’s experience growing-up in a tower block seeking adventure. Stunningly illustrated by Richard Johnson, more than anything, this book is a celebration of, and a reclaiming of tower blocks as a place where magic and adventure can and does happen.

A modern day fable showing how magic and beauty is all around us.
