Description:

Lydia's afternoon is grey and quiet. Her father texts, her mother taps at a laptop, and her brother won't look up from his screen — everyone is too lost in their gadgets to say a proper hello. Bored and restless, Lydia slips out the front door and steps into a world bursting with colour. She greets a fluttering leaf, a field of flowers, and then, wonderfully, a horse that calls her by name. Soon she is galloping across the countryside with an ever-growing, gloriously unlikely parade of animals. When her phone finally rings, Lydia hurries home — but this time she coaxes her whole family back outside to discover the same magic. With spare, expressive words and artwork that blooms from soft greys into vivid hues, this gentle picture book celebrates unplugging and rediscovering the wide, beautiful world.
