I, me, moor by Alicia Hayden is a new take at folklore. Alicia’s book follows Mimi and her family who live in North Yorkshire; her mother rocks her whilst been serenaded by skylarks, and Mimi grows up playing surrounded by peat and gorse in the garden. For Mimi, the sounds which bring her moor to life are coloured – purple swirls, golden loops – her life is intimately connected to that of the moor. So when Mimi moves away, what will happen to the moor in her wake?
Inspired by the Yorkshire Dales National Parks, the project was written and illustrated by Alicia Hayden and also includes music and lyrics by Sam Lightfoot-Lofus and Loris Scarpa, additional vocals by Alice Wolff-Whitehouse and foreword from author Tiffany Francis-Baker.
