description: The White Rose is guarded closely by the gardener who once caught a cold walking barefoot trying to find his shoes which had been hidden by a cat which was a gift from his younger brother who was married to Dalva who had inherited the cat from her uncle who died of a broken heart awaiting a love letter that never arrived... Eventually we see how one tiny action can have marvelous consequences and the story turns like a ferris wheel. With a playful lightness of touch Mello explores serious questions about the importance of kindness and the dangers of greed. Mello's illustrations will inspire his young readers providing them with familiar and approachable images while encouraging imagination to fill in the narrative gaps as he captures the mysteries of childhood through rich vibrant imagery.
