Tenderly illustrated by the great Claude K. Dubois, this picture book is a paean to fatherhood and reading. But what if... the two were connected?

With loving, well-chosen words, Nadine Poirier tells the story of a young girl who meets a gardener. He lives alone and grows... books! She's all alone too ‒ she has no parents. This meeting changes both their lives forever. And in a way, it changes our view of the act of reading as well. A book to make us think about how we care for others, and what being a father really means.
