For Scotland, that means children's books by authors and illustrators from Scotland, starting with Katie Morag Delivers the Mail by Mairi Hedderwick. Below are three books worth packing, each available in English with links to find them at Bookshop.org or Amazon.
Island life, ferries, family and small community drama on the fictional Isle of Struay.
