Beautifully and delicately illustrated this colourful book tells the story of April who thinks the town where she lives is rather drab and grey. This story is not just about the colour, it's also about how everyone in the town and around her are so busy and the difference she makes.

April wonders why and what can be done, she thinks of what she can do change this. Turning to her grandma who is never too busy, April listen to her advice about the world of colourful flowers.

Young readers have plenty of detail to look at in the illustrations as they read the story. They will discover how beautiful the natural world is around them, especially the beautiful flowers and plants.

They will also read how wishing things to happen can help make a difference, bring back happy memories, make people smile and enjoy their surroundings. April learns that when seeds are planted and nutured, they evolve into seedlings and fully grown flowers as they grow through the seasons.

This is a lovely pastel colourful book with a gentle story of how one child can make a cheery difference
