'The Great Wall of China' - Kate Brown

A seven-year-old girl is taken to see her dying grandmother in hospital. She has found a dead fox scarf and an old fur coat in her 'nonna's' wardrobe and, in her imagination, thinks of travels far and wide.

'The Great Wall of China' by Kate Brown is a story of a child's sharp and inquisitive imagination. It was a runner-up in our Radio Books 2008 competition.

*** Earthbeat ***

Dheera Sujan looks at the footprint we're leaving on our planet.

This week: the precarious future of Myanmar. Cyclone Nargis has devastated the Irrawaddy Delta, once known as the country's rice basket. There's an urgency at getting farmers back to work on the land before time runs out - the window for the next planting season will be open only for another couple of weeks, if that deadline is missed all of Myanmar will feel the effects of the disaster.

And we hear the stories of refugees returning to Uganda after being driven out by conflict.
