A young girl is lonely and a little sad too. Her dad is busy with his work and her mum is on the phone. Neither have time for her and her kite, and her big sister is glued to a screen.

In her room, she suddenly spies a bright red crayon. Her imagination is ignited and she tentatively draws a small door on the wall in her bedroom. This is only the beginning.

A lantern-lit forest awaits her, and as she travels through this strange, grey-struck land, she uses her imagination and red crayon again and again.

Mighty castles, strange airships, and new friends await her. Fantastical escapes abound and then there is another coloured crayon….

A stunning piece of artwork, story and imagination from an author-illustrator enamoured with the power of wonder. And wonder is what we find.

Follow the story into Quest and Return, Part 2 & 3 of this wordless but powerful picture book series.
