Cathy ran barefoot every day across the great ancient land, as her people had done for sixty thousand years before. As Cathy runs, she feels the heartbeat of the land through the very fibres of her being. So when this heartbeat stops and she asks the land what is wrong, young Cathy listens carefully and understands that she has a job to do. She must gather seeds from grasses and plants, and spread those seeds across the land.
Book: Always, Clementine. Clementine is a mouse. A very clever mouse. The thing is, Clementine is not free. She’s a lab mouse who is used for research. Always, Clementine is written as a series of letters from Clementine to Rosie, a chimpanzee who she meets in the lab. The chapters start ‘Dear Rosie’ and end with the marvellous mouse signing off, ‘Always, Clementine’. The story gives voice to Clementine’s thoughts. Readers get to peek inside her genius brain, to see what she sees, and experience what she does as she escapes the lab and has to survive in the outside world. That’s where the story really takes off.
