Two books · One little light

Before you were you, you were a little light.

Not-Yet hasn't picked a birthday. So the little soul walks the Great Circle, past twelve slides and their twelve keepers, asking each one the same question: Are you my zodiac sign?

The Great Circle: twelve coloured slides spiralling down from a ring in the clouds toward the Earth

The Great Circle

Twelve little countries along one enormous way.

Here and there, far beyond seeing, the road changed. There was grass on it.

Stone.

Rain.

Snow.

A piece of sea.

At each stands a slide, and at each slide a keeper who has always been there. The keepers can't go down. Not-Yet can. Whichever slide Not-Yet chooses, that day becomes a birthday.

“Do I have a name?” asked the little light.

“Not yet.”

“That sounds rather like a name.”

“So it does.”

The Books

One story, told two ways

A picture book to read aloud at bedtime, and a longer illustrated chapter book for readers who want to walk the whole road with Not-Yet.
