'Enchanting, touching, full of lightness and wisdom' Carlo Rovelli From the bestselling author of The Fox and the Star, a spellbinding clothbound fable about searching and hoping, and how the smallest moment can be beautiful Deep below the earth, Worm dreams of having more space. There's not much room down there. Above, Bird waits, through sun and rain and wind. As the day goes on, will they both find what they are looking for? Nominated for the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal and shortlisted for the British Book Design and Production Awards 2018
