An unexpected delivery arrived this week! 🐯🐝

After attending a few Hull City games at #BrentfordFC’s Gtech, this smart new away kit has landed on my doorstep.

Very happy to showcase it and I’m sure Bittu from #Tigeropolis would approve!

🚢☀️ There’s nothing quite like a summer aboard Paddle Steamer Waverley.

We’re delighted to hear the Captain Bobo books have been proving popular with young readers during this summer’s sailings around #Scotland.

Thanks to everyone who’s taken Captain Bobo home with them! #KidsBooks #GaelicBooks

☀️📚 The summer holidays are here!

More time for stories together, starting with Tòn-iasg (Bum-fish), a wonderfully quirky #Gaelic picture book about friendship & seeing yourself in a new light. 🐟

Here’s to a summer of stories and making memories. ✨ @leughleabhar.bsky.social @gillebride.bsky.social

📚🐞 Sometimes the best stories don’t come from books.

We discovered a tiny ladybird. Watching it together was a lovely reminder that some of the biggest adventures begin with the smallest discoveries.

It’s moments like these that remind us why stories about the natural world matter so much to us.

☀️ Happy weekend! ☀️

For many families, the #summerholidays are finally here.

Whether you’re heading off on an adventure or staying closer to home, we hope there’s time for plenty of stories, laughter and a good book or two along the way.

Not long to go now...

We're really looking forward to seeing Gillebrìde MacMillan at the #Edinburgh International Book Festival, sharing An Tìgear a Thàinig gu Dinneir with young Gaelic readers.

It's always a joy to see children discovering stories in #Gaelic.

The river is full of reflections today, which seems like a good reminder to reflect on the week too.

Wishing everyone a relaxing weekend and plenty of time for good books, good company and a little fresh air. 📚

Nothing beats sharing a good story.

We’ve been reading Tòn-iasg (Bum-fish) together, and it’s already a favourite. A funny, heartwarming #Gaelic picture book that’s perfect for story time. 🐟✨
