Deep in the gray city, a girl discovers a special building full over color in The Glasshouse, a picture book by Hélène Druvert.
Holly loves to wander the city streets, collecting fallen leaves and stray flowers, tiny treasures that bring a spot of brightness to her day. But one day she stumbles upon the biggest treasure of all, an amazing forgotten place bursting with life and color that might change her gray world forever. . .. —Synopsis provided by Thames & Hudson
Just under $25 is a lot to pay for a picture book, but when you hold The Glasshouse, you realize it’s worth the price.
