Work by young artist Penny Johnstone is to feature on all of the Scottish Book Trust’s Read, Write, Count bags gifted this year across the country.
The national charity, which aims to change lives with reading and writing, ran a competition asking pupils across Scotland to submit drawings that represent “looking after the planet”.
This is to celebrate their new recyclable bags being used for the scheme which gifts two specially selected picture books along with fun writing and numeracy activities years to every P2 and P3 pupil in Scotland. Last year 129,600 bags – including 1,600 Gaelic-language bags – were given out.
