Pixar's blockbuster UP meets Coraline in this atmospheric and
emotional story.
Niles lives all alone in a big dirty house filled with memories of the
people who used to live there.
Then one day, a little boy appears on his doorstep and asks Niles to
take care of his plant. Astonished, Niles takes the pot of dirt, and
wonders what to do with it.
As a seedling appears, Niles realizes how empty and lonely his house is
and begins to care for the plant, his house and himself. By the time the
little boy returns his flower has bloomed into a beautiful poppy and
Niles, and his house, are filled with hope again.
This beautiful and uplifting story of loss and hope by Martin Widmark is
accompanied by stunning, atmospheric illustrations by Emilia Dziubak,
which capture Niles's journey from loneliness to friendship.
