The Digger and the Flower by Kuefler, Joseph

The first breathtaking book with a powerful message about the environment in acclaimed author/artist Joseph Kuefler's bestselling Digger series, perfect for fans of Peter Brown's The Curious Garden and Kadir Nelson's If You Plant a Seed.

Each day, the big trucks go to work. They scoop and hoist and push.

But when Digger discovers something growing in the rubble, he sets in motion a series of events that will change him, and the city, forever.
