Bigfoot Mountain

Minnie sits high up in her favourite tree, watching the smoke  from a huge, distant, forest fire. Her mother died recently and Minnie and her stepdad Dan are stuck with each other in their small cabin at the foot of the mountain. But one day Minnie and her friend Billy discover four giant footprints on a mountain trail. Dan puts it down to hoaxers. Minnie is sure she knows better. 

Kaayii sits high up in his favourite tree, watching smoke from the  forest fire that has forced his clan to move to the other side of the mountain. He also watches the humans in their cabins down below. His father has decided there are too many predators on this side of the mountain and the Sasquatch guardians of the forest must follow an ancient trail to a new home. 

Kaayii and Minnie’s paths entwine as they help each other and  their families to heal.

‘Rod O’Grady tells us the stories of Minnie and Kaayii, creating an enchanting natural world with no  sentimentality, anthropomorphism or humbug!’
