An Stàball

Illustrator: Kate Phillips and Anne Ramsay

An Stàball [The Stable] is the first-ever original Gaelic board book and a transatlantic collaboration. Author Anne Ramsay, from the Isle of Lewis, Scotland developed and tested the story with pupils at Sgoil-Àraich Lacasdail. Award-winning illustrator Kate Phillips of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada imbued the farmyard animals and their interactions with personality and drama. Each 2-page spread of this board book has a stable door flap for wee hands to lift. Perfect for ages 0–5 and as a baby gift.
