| book description |

A timely, inspiring and uplifting story about hope and the power of creative expression, from one of the world's most treasured bookmakers. “Graham finds big themes in small events: community, imagination, hope.” Sunday Times “Restrained, poetic, humorous text and joyously burgeoning pictures speak to the perennial power of shared imagination.” Guardian “Inclusive and familiar … about creativity and teamwork. It should inspire young readers to draw.” Booktrust After a cold, dark winter, doors opened. Children spilled out like sweets from a box. Amanda was last one out of the tower block. She brought some chalk with her. On every inch of the concrete outside, the children drew pictures of everything they could think of, from flowers and snails, to spaceships and queens. Before long, a beautiful and exotic garden spread out across the concrete. From master storyteller Bob Graham comes a charming story about finding optimism after a dark spell, and the nurturing power of community friendships in an urban setting. The Concrete Garden will resonate with anyone who has been apart from their loved ones, and will encourage us all to find the brightness and colour within ourselves.
