Follow Me!
Politics for beginners
Chris, a little mouse, feels like a leader, and leaders tell other people what to do. After all, leaders know everything. If the other mice want to find the best fruit, all they have to do is follow him. At least, that’s what Chris thinks. But soon he finds out that it is not that easy to be a leader. , The mice get more and more worn out, and it becomes clear that following someone else’s orders doesn’t always work. When one day Chris steps onto a boat, expecting the other mice to swim after him, they decide enough is enough. They’re not going to follow him into the water. Left on his own, Chris doesn’t feel like the leader anymore. After realising that it’s much easier to get out of the boat when others help you, the mice hatch a new plan: they are all leaders, together they can do anything!
After illustrating books by other authors, Liset Celie makes her writing debut with this picture book. Celie’s illustrations and writing share a clear, light style that vividly conveys the mice’s emotions. Follow Me! is a fast-paced picture book and great fun, entertaining and adventurous.
