Ballywhinney Girl

Maeve is unnerved when she and her grandfather find a body in the bog in Ballywhinney,<br>Ireland. It turns out to be the body of a young girl who lived more than a<br>thousand years ago. A girl like Maeve, with fair hair, who walked the same fields and<br>picked the same flowers. When archeologists display the mummy at a museum, Maeve<br>wonders: Does the girl mind being displayed in a glass case for all to see? Or does she<br>miss the green meadow where she had lain for so many hundreds of years?<br>Two picture-book masters sensitively capture the layers of thought and feeling arising<br>in the face of an awe-inspiring and mysterious discovery.
