Description

In 2020, during the lockdown where we all stayed home, we planted the seed of better things to come. We filled our windows with rainbows, cars didn't block up the roads, we learnt our neighbours names and said hello and nature returned to our gardens, parks and cities. This lyrical, rhyming picture book explores the sacrifices made by people across the world during the global Covid-19 pandemic, but looks with hope to the future, when the seeds we planted will unfurl and flower.
