Dear all,
in the light of everyone mentioning the lack of resources for Scots teaching, I want to share some exciting news from Luath Press who have published a new book in Scots: The Moggie Thit Meowed Too Much by Emma Grae, illustrated by Bob Dewar, is a beautifully written Scottish children’s book that sensitively tackles the theme of loss. Set in the vibrant world of the Scots language, this story follows young Skye as she cares for her granny’s beloved cat, Puffin, after her granny passes away. As Skye navigates her grief, she learns about love, memory and healing through the companionship of the wee moggie. This book is perfect for children aged 4-8 and teachers, librarians and parents who appreciate diverse linguistic traditions will find The Moggie Thit Meowed Too Much an invaluable addition to their shelves. With its charming illustrations and tender storytelling, this book offers comfort, understanding and a gentle path to discussing difficult emotions with little ones.
Kira, from Luath Press has confirmed that Emma is available for school visits between now and the new year and would love to help promote Scots in the classroom!
If you are keen to make use of this opportunity, please contact Kira using the information below. I'd thoroughly recommend it... Emma Grae is such a brilliant author!
Best,
Sylvia
