This picture book is hopeful and beautiful! I was so excited to have this arrive in the mail yesterday! *The first book published from Sarah Mackenzie's new publishing company, Waxwing*
Elderly Lou Alice tries "to leave each day more beautiful than she found it". In her town she plants flowers outside of the town hall. No one notices. They just don't understand why they feel happier. When Lou Alice becomes ill and cannot create beauty anymore, someone from the younger generation resumes her role.
The pictures and text tell the story together. If one of them was missing, the story would not make sense. I love the illustrations!!
*Highly recommend.
-I own this book.
