A gentle tale about feeling valued, whatever age you are. A story that will ring true with many young children and, in turn, reassure them. Eva's the youngest and smallest in her family. She longs to have so many grown-up things, but Mum always says 'no'. Her brother, Billy, just laughs and laughs at her. So she decides to move out - to the very end of the back garden! After a few scary moments, she realises that being an adult on her own isn't as fun as she thought it would be!
