Description
‘MacSprout- Keeper of the Corncrackers’ is a children’s picture book, bursting with engaging, humorous information about the relationship between nature and a very special Scottish working landscape as seen through the eyes of a dog. The book explores values of friendship, community and the love between MacSprout and his ‘owner’. It’s a story of new beginnings and resilience.
The beautiful watercolour and collage illustrations by Rebecca evoke the Outer Hebridean landscapes and wildlife. They are taken from her sketch books kept over ten years while living and working on Island, managing a crofting and wildlife project for the RSPB.
The book is a self-published, crafted, limited edition of 52 pages, printed by a local Dumfries and Galloway company. It will appeal to early readers upward and their adults and is supported by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
