The Importance of Green

Liam Loveday could not and would not paint without green.

But one day he runs out of his favourite colour. Should he paint in red, yellow or blue? And what happens in a world with no green at all?

Well ...

Cars get stuck in traffic jams without green lights, cows refuse to eat grass, and the grasshoppers lose their camouflage. They're being mercilessly hunted by seagulls and only Liam can save them all – but how?
