She was not meant to be a hero.
She was a small stray dog from the streets of Moscow.
Then history looked down, pointed one very serious finger, and said, “You.”
Laika Still Runs is a beautifully illustrated story inspired by the true history of Laika, the first living creature to orbit Earth. Told with warmth, humour and deep feeling, this book follows Laika from the streets of Moscow to the cold silence of space, asking one of the hardest questions humans have ever carried into the stars:
Must progress always be paid for by the voiceless?
This is a story about courage, curiosity, kindness, regret and the strange young species that built rockets before it fully learned mercy. It is suitable for thoughtful young readers, adults, dog lovers, teachers, classrooms and anyone who has ever looked at an animal and wondered whether humanity is quite as clever as it thinks it is.
Moving, funny, beautifully illustrated and quietly devastating, Laika Still Runs is not only a book about space.
It is a book about conscience.
And dogs.
Obviously dogs.
