Meet the Weather Selected for Scottish BookTrust Bookbug and Read Write Count bags 2026!

I am absolutely over the moon that over 60,000 school children in Scotland will receive a FREE copy of Meet the Weather as part of Scottish BookTrusts campaign to engage young readers.

“Bookbug is Scotland’s universal early years book gifting programme and aims to inspire a love of stories, songs and rhymes from birth. It is predominantly funded by Scottish Government. Bookbug gives every child in Scotland four free bags of books as babies, toddlers, three and five year olds.

The bags contain books and other resources for sharing songs and rhymes that are suited to their age. Gaelic Bookbug Bags are also available. For children with additional support needs, Bookbug offers tactile books in addition to the Bookbug Bags.

Bookbug Bags are supported by free Bookbug Sessions, where mums, dads and carers can enjoy sharing stories, songs and rhymes with their little ones. Bookbug Sessions take place in libraries and community venues across Scotland.

Bookbug also provides a range of funded training opportunities for people working or volunteering in the early years, as well as free learning resources to support sharing stories, songs and rhymes with young children.”
