Book Synopsis

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.

Our Review Panel says...

‘Flower Block’ by Lanisha Butterfield is a touching and beautifully crafted picturebook.

Jeremiah plants a packet of sunflower seeds, the last thing he expects is for the vines and leaves to grow overnight and burst through the ceiling of his apartment. The story follows Jeremiah and his brother as the community in their flat block comes together to find the true magic hidden within the seeds.

Hoang Giang has illustrated the book beautifully there is so much to see on each page. Throughout the book you are introduced to lots of people who live in the tower block and it is wonderful to see the diversity of Jeremiah’s neighbours. A highly recommend book, which children of all ages would enjoy.
