The Extraordinary Gardener

Author and illustrator: Sam Boughton

Contrasts the grey every day with the verdant imagination of Joe, who has a vision he is determined to realise. As a drab neighbourhood is revitalised, nature exalts. A profusion of wonderment offering a rich visual experience ending in an extraordinary double page spread full of character and colour.
