The comet

Nyla is a creative child who loves drawing and enjoys her  life in the countryside. She lives with her dad, and they spend lots of time playing and cooking together, making up stories and watching the night sky.

Everything changes when they have to move to the city. Dad has no time to play with her, the buildings are grey, the streets are busy, her school is strange and there are very few stars in the night sky. Then one night Nyla spots a comet, sparking her imagination, memories and lots of creative activity.

This is a story told through minimal text and wonderful illustrations about the challenges of moving house and from one way of life to another. We see Nyla and her father making a new house into a home and becoming part of the community. A beautiful picturebook full of imagination, creativity and a sprinkling of magic.
