ACHUKA Book of the Tower 3 Aug 2022
A contemporary fable that shows the children of a tower block travelling to a strange, magical world inside a tree and meeting an old man with supernatural powers, only to realise that the magic they’d been looking for had been in their tower all along.
A deeply personal story written by multi-award winning poet and Waterstones Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho, drawn from his own experience growing up in a tower block and looking for adventure, this story is a celebration of, and a reclaiming of tower blocks as a place where magic and adventure can happen.
Beautiful illustrations complement the poetic narrative of this powerful story showing that nature is everywhere, and everyone should have access to it.
