An old man lives in a desolate place, close to a rubbish tip. One day he makes a flower from the rubbish around him, and soon he is crating a forest. A forest, complete with birds and animals, but all made of tin. Things change when a real bird comes to visit, and soon the birds bring seeds, and the life created this way generates a wonderful mixture of real forest with his tin forest. Where there is a dream, hope can grow.
This is a magical, beautifully-written text complemented by gentle, detailed illustrations.
