Coorie Doon by Jackie Kay & Jill Calder

PART OF THE Get Set ISSUE

‘Ilka times, her daddy sang a song Shona loved, called The Tiree Love Song’

Coorie Doon by Jackie Kay, and illustrated by Jill Calder is a truly beautiful book about family, love and song. We just had to share one of its marvellous illustrations! Don’t forget too, that if you buy the book, there is a QR code where you can learn the songs sung in the book too. What a treat!
