After returning from his travels to find his house in a sad state of disrepair, an inhabitant of a monotonous, same-same village decides to rebuild his home using all the beautiful things he's collected throughout his voyages. What a scandal and an eyesore! - the neighbours in their grey-shuttered brick houses lament. But one day, one of them decides he might just follow suit, seeing as blue shutters actually look quite nice...
“A picture-book ode to the power of creative nonconformity, Who Left the Light On? achieves a rare trifecta: a loosely rhyming book in translation with brilliant illustrations. Mix in important themes—embracing diversity and expressing oneself—add a huge dollop of whimsy, and you have the ingredients to this charming tale. But the sum of the parts is considerably more than just that.”
