But then something does happen. Something wonderful. Something divine. Something green!

Big Mama Makes the World by Phyllis Root, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury

When Big Mama made the world, she didn't mess about. Earth sky and sea, sun and moon, plants and trees, fish, birds and animals all fell right in line with Big Mama's plans. What Big Mama wants, Big Mama gets. That's how it is. It wasn't easy, either, with that little baby to take care of. But nothing stops Big Mama. Not for a second. Through it all - from darkness to light, from far up in the clouds to the bottom of the ocean, from a ball of mud to a big bang - shines Big Mama, larger- than- life and down- to- earth, with her baby sitting on her hip and the laundry piling up.

Gatty's Tale by Kevin Crossley-Holand

From the back of the book:
in the year 1203, nine companions set out on a great pilgrimage. The journey - on food, on horseback and by sea - is fraught with danger. Not all of them will come home. Among them is Gatty, whose whole life has been spent working in the fields. Bright, eager and resolute, with the singing voice of an angel, she is at the heart of this enthralling novel that sweeps across Europe towards Jerusalem. We come to know the pilgrims intimately - their bickering, praying and joking, their fear and exhaustion, their loyalty and sacrifice as they face thieves and storms and precipices, a vicious attack and a heartbreaking bereavement. Gatty's curiosity and reckless impulsiveness land her in danger, yet she is transformed by her experiences and by her exposure to new people and new ideas. How can she go back to her old life in the Welsh Marches after this?
