Suzie loves going with her parents to the garden settlement outside the city, where every plot is different. Behind a high fence, surrounded by dense, almost spooky vegetation, is where old Bela is supposed to live. A big black dog and a shiny blue key lead Suzie onto the property, where she discovers a magical secret. Painted on glass in vibrant oil colours, a world full of small wonders and natural beauty emerges.
