What Did Alex See?

Look, spot, count, discover!
See the world with fresh eyes on every journey you take.

What did Alex see on her walk to school? From Monday to Sunday,
there are many things to be found, and many colours to be spotted.
Lucy Vigrass’s bright and bold pictures celebrate the joy of
noticing new things, day after day, even in familiar environments.
Inspired by Columbia Road, the East London street famous for its
flower market, and the place where the authors first met.

[The book] takes inspiration from the urban jungle, city streets
and the hidden nooks and crannies of big towns. [It] takes in
the beauty of flora and fauna but the diversity of city life too.
