Peg and Uan cover

A sheepdog puppy learns to confront her fears and build a friendship with a baby lamb in Peg and Uan, a charming tale for young readers.

In Peg and Uan, we meet Peg, a sheepdog puppy living on a remote Scottish Hebridean island. Unlike typical sheepdogs, Peg has a unique challenge: she is afraid of sheep. This unusual fear creates a sense of tension and curiosity in her life, especially when her family rescues a baby lamb named Uan, which means 'lamb' in Gaelic. The introduction of Uan into Peg's world raises questions about their future friendship and how they will navigate their differences.

As Peg adjusts to having Uan around, she grapples with her fears and anxieties. The story beautifully illustrates the journey of overcoming fears and the importance of friendship. Through charming and colorful illustrations, readers are taken on a delightful adventure that captures the essence of companionship and understanding. The contrast between Peg's initial apprehension and her eventual acceptance of Uan adds depth to the narrative.

Peg and Uan is more than just a simple tale; it is a heartwarming exploration of friendship, acceptance, and the courage to face one's fears. With its engaging storyline and stunning visuals, this board book is perfect for introducing young readers to the themes of love and friendship, making it a delightful addition to any child's library.

'An engaging story about Peg the puppy overcoming shyness. It's told with lovely images of rural life on a Hebridean island. With few words on the page, a simple storyline, and stiff board pages, this could be a delightful first book to share with babies as they grow.'
