Description:

Once, in an old rusty bin in an old rusty playground in an old empty park, there lived a little tortoise. His life was warm and cosy and safe — but also very, very lonely. He had never seen another tortoise, or indeed any animal at all. Then one evening, gazing up at the night sky, he spotted a million blinking lights and became utterly convinced: that must be where all the other animals lived, up at the top of the sky! And so he set off on a magnificent quest — crossing a vast desert (a sandpit), sailing a great ocean (a pond), and building his way towards the stars. Heartwarming, quietly funny, and beautifully poignant, this gorgeous collaboration between Ross Montgomery and award-winning illustrator David Litchfield is a luminous celebration of bravery, kindness, loneliness, and the extraordinary power of finding friendship where you least expect it.
