From Waterstones Prize-winning Harry Woodgate, this stunning picture book shines a light on mental health, and how kindness, community and gardening can help heal the body and mind.

To others, Miss Brown's wild and overgrown house at the end of the road is scary, but to Holly it’s like something out of a fairy tale. Holly reaches out to Miss Brown and discovers that she isn’t scary at all: her brain has been ill for a while, and the wildness has spilled out. Can their budding friendship, and a bit of help with the butterflies in her garden, encourage Miss Brown to feel like herself again?
