Celebrate the launch of Na Peataichean a Thàinig Gu Sràid Phalmerston / The Pets That Came to Palmerston Street! An English-Gaelic children’s picture book that is fun, gentle, and full of life, written by Laurie Stanley-Blackwell, illustrated by Teresa MacKenzie, and translated into Gaelic by Effie Rankin.

This story is about Henry and Abby who want to own a dog. They soon find themselves sharing their home at Palmerston Street with an assortment of pets. The children and their Mom learn that the heart can always expand to make more room for love.

The book also includes a QR code with a link to a recording of the Gaelic version of this story read by Effie Rankin for parents and learners.

This is a Zoom livestream of the launch in Antigonish, Nova Scotia (at 2pm Halifax), connecting Gaelic speakers around the world as part of Nova Scotia’s Gaelic Awareness Month.
