Description
Once upon a time, in a world not so different to ours, a little blue man decides to create a machine to control the weather. It all goes terribly wrong. With humour, subtlety and a sense of adventure, Donovan Bixley's engaging illustrations capture both the hopefulness and naivety of human industry in this wordless book.
