Scottish children are to have a new range of picture books targeted at them by Floris Books, publisher of Lari Don’s First Aid for Fairies and Other Fabled Beasts, which won a Royal Mail Award for Scottish Children’s Books last year. The new imprint, Picture Kelpies, will feature universal themes with local settings. The new range was launched this week with three titles: The Big Bottom Hunt by Lari Don, illustrated by Gabby Grant; My Cat Mac by Margaret Forrester and Sandra Klaassen, and You Can’t Play Here! by new author and illustrator Angus Corby.
