Barnaby, a pavement artist, creates a drawing that unexpectedly comes to life. This new being, with a mind, senses, and a heart, embarks on a journey of discovery.

This poetic tale, enriched by dynamic illustrations, invites readers to ponder the essence of life and creativity.
From the publisher
Barnaby is a pavement artist. This morning he started drawing me. I have a head that can think, eyes that can see, ears that can hear and legs that can run. Best of all, I have a heart that can feel. Thank you, Barnaby. Award-winning writer Margaret Wild compresses epic themes into a poetic, poignant story, vividly brought to life by Mandy Ord’s distinctive, dynamic art.
