Samenvatting:

Joann Gilmartin is a classically trained opera singer and Celtic recording artist. She was born in Glasgow, and now splits her time between her native Scotland and the USA. Joann has written several children's books featuring the mischievous tyke, Wee Billy - a character she admits is based on herself since she was a bit of a tomboy growing up and always seemed to be getting into scrapes! She is in demand at schools and children's groups to read her stories and talk with her young audiences about the differences of growing up in Scotland and the USA.

Silly Wee Billy makes an ideal child's first picture book and takes the reader on an adventurous journey to Scotland where Wee Billy meets Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster and Highland Coos! Silly Wee Billy also tries his hand at throwing the hammer in a local Scottish Highland Games! The book contains Scottish words and customs which are explained in a glossary. Highlighting the differences between children growing up in Scotland and other countries, this book provides a fun and novel teaching medium.
