What Colour Are Your Wellies?
Age range 3 to 7
Meet Usha, a little girl off on a big adventure! She's going on holiday to the Hebrides and is excited to show off her brand new, bright blue wellies. But who will she meet along the way, and will they have their own wellies to show her?
What Colour Are Your Wellies? is a beautifully illustrated children's book about the seabirds of the Hebrides and the colour of their feet. It visits iconic landmarks of the Hebrides and meets different seabirds that live there. Toddlers and younger children will enjoy having it read to them, whilst those who are a little bit older should be able to read it themselves.
As the creators are wildlife guides who live and work in the Hebrides this book, whilst not only being beautifully illustrated, is also accurate to the species and areas being portrayed.
