Delighted to have been nominated for the @scottishbktrust #BookbugHeroAward2021! I began delivering online sessions as a volunteer (and new mum) last Springtime when we entered into lockdown. Sharing songs & my love of picture books has helped me cope. Thank YOU for watching! 🙂

🌟 Happy New Year! 🌟

To jazz things up a little I'm trying something new - each Bookbug session will now include a teeny film of Stonehaven & a Scots children's poem read by myself or a locally known writer.
