Silver Buttons Summary

Silver Buttons by Bob Graham

Bob Graham beautifully captures a world vision in one solitary moment. From the multiple award-winning author-illustrator of How to Heal a Broken Wing and A Bus Called Heaven, comes a powerful and poignant celebration of the small moments in life - moments in which we sense the greatest significance, moments when we can see the big picture. At 9.59 on Thursday morning, Jodie draws a duck. Just as she is about to add one final silver button to the duck's boots, her little brother takes his first step. At this exact same moment, a man buys bread, a soldier leaves home, a baby is being born... Here is a book, a story, a philosophy so simply told and yet - in true and inimitable Bob Graham style - so rich with emotion and meaning. From his glorious urban skyscapes to the tender portrayal of a falling feather or the tying of a shoelace or a dog's joy in scratching his back, Bob lets us in on a world view conveyed with humanity, compassion and affection.

Like a camera panning outwards, the reader is taken through an ever-widening lens to see what is happening in different places at that exact moment in time . . . that view, of both the mundane and the momentous, is gently presented, without judgement, in soft colour and with affection. A thought-provoking title to be shared and talked about * Carousel *
"This celebration of an instant in time and the variety of events contained within it is beautifully conveyed through Graham's delicate and vivid illustrations, bringing these often overlooked yet important moments to life." * Amnesty.org,uk *
