Description
The enchanting story of Pip and the grand yet lonely valley where he lived, and the comfort zone he stepped out of.
This is the second story from incredible author–illustrator Ashling Lindsay after An Unexpected Thing in 2022, shortlisted for the Academy of British Book Cover Design Award.
Pip lived all alone on one side of a beautiful, wide valley. And he had absolutely everything he needed.
Every morning he drank his tea, watered his plants and checked his post box for letters.
And every night, he sat and looked out into the deep dark sky at the planets, comets and stars. And sometimes it made him feel quite small.
Until one day, a leaf fluttered in through Pip’s open window. He looked at it. It was not an ordinary leaf—it certainly didn’t belong to any of the trees on his side of the valley. It shimmered and shone in the sunlight and was unlike anything Pip had ever seen before!
But where did it come from? Pip peered out of his window and wondered... maybe there was something more on the other side of the Valley after all.
This is a meaningful picture book all about travel, exploration and trying new things, encouraging little ones who may be stuck in their ways to venture out of their comfort zones. Whether it’s trying new foods, reading new books or preparing to go to a new school, there’s something for all readers to take away from this sweet fable.
