When Jeremiah plants a packet of sunflower seeds, the very last thing he expects is for the vines and leaves to grow overnight and burst through the ceiling of his apartment!

As Jeremiah and his brother chase the magical plant up through the floors of their tower block home, they discover an array of curious neighbours who join in the adventure. But what could be waiting for them at the top of the building? And will Jeremiah find his voice to help the neighbours discover the true magic hidden within these sunflower seeds?

A glorious celebration of the power of nature to bring communities together, from talented debut author Lanisha Butterfield and illustrator Hoang Giang.
“An utterly stunning debut picture book about community, nature and the things that bring us together. Warmly written and gorgeously illustrated, Lanisha and Hoang are a perfectly synced storytelling duo.” – Dapo Adeola, illustrator of LOOK UP!
