Coorie Doon: A Scottish Lullaby Story

Author: Jackie KayIllustrator: Jill Calder

There’s an intimacy in this lyrical exploration of bedtime songs and dialectal lullabies that have been lovingly crafted into a story about close family bonds and feeling safe and secure by day and by night. A pleasing shape sees the focus of the story change from the little girl who has been adopted to the dad as an older man.
