We are delighted to launch The Kippford Mermaid: A Multi-Sensory Story Created by The Arts End of Somewhere!

Based on a traditional Dumfries and Galloway tale, The Kippford Mermaid has been written and illustrated by The Arts End of Somewhere, an arts collective based in Dumfries who all have additional support needs.

The book is designed to be interactive, and in this wonderful video, featuring members of The Arts End of Somewhere, you can see simple instructions to create a sensory story, alongside members of the group demonstrating the multi-sensory story.

So, please join in, and enjoy The Kippford Mermaid.

The Kippford Mermaid is available to buy in Edinburgh International Book Festival’s online bookshop.
