I recently lent The Bees by Laline Paull to my mum, and it reminded me what an extraordinary book that is, exploring societal values through a bee’s eyes.

This week, think yourself into a mind utterly unlike your own – an ant’s, a bee’s, or even a tree’s, and try to see our world through its perceptions, to write a truly original tale.
