Review A braw tale of friendship and loss. GLASGOW EVENING TIMESThis book is something totally different to what we have read before and thats something special. SCOTT.YOU.READINGThe Hoolet Thit Couldnae Fly would be a fantastic book to share aloud with young readers as it gives status to Scots and, for those of us unfamiliar with the vocabulary, is more easily accessed by hearing the words. It could also be a real catalyst for classrooms where children can consider language, accent and dialect, sharing words from their own mother tongues. Id love to see it as a drama performance too, so that it has use and longevity beyond simply being a story... The Hoolet Thit Couldnae Fly is a cracking childrens book and very well worth adding to home or classroom bookshelves. I really enjoyed it! LINDAS BOOK BAGA sensitive, engaging story in a Scots that is easily accessible and a delight to read. BILLY KAY, AuthorIn short, Graes literary work is a celebration of the historic and wonderfully-diverse Scottish dialects that make up the Scots Language. READ THE ROOM MAGAZINERead this to my class of 6 year olds and almost all of them loved it. They would cheer whenever it was time for another chapter and all wanted to be the one to tell us what happened last time. They enjoyed learning new Scots words and some got very, very excited to hear Scots in a book. They kept saying "thats what we say at home!" The illustrations are lovely and really complement the story. SARAH, Teacher on GoodReadsThe Hoolet This Couldnae Fly is a gorgeous story celebrating friendship and individuality.
