A £2000 donation means teachers working in schools with a Glasgow postcode can access free copies of the book
Written entirely in Scots, Neeps and Tatties is the story of two warring vegetable tribes who are finally encouraged to put the past behind them in the interest of a better future. The book examines issues such as discrimination and prejudice, highlighting how old grievances can be overcome by a new generation.
Nil by Mouth director Dave Scott said: “This project has gone from strength to strength since it was launched during Covid in January 2021. “To date, more than 700 schools have taken part and we are hopeful that we will hit the 1000 mark before Burns Night 2023. “Neeps and Tatties is a simple, yet effective, way of helping children explore the things that make us different while also providing them with an opportunity to discuss their own culture and beliefs in class.”Experiential Play’s Carol Scott said: “We have worked with Nil By Mouth for a number of years now and the charity has delivered talks and training to hundreds of our students over that period.
"We wanted to give something back so, when we heard about Neeps and Tatties we decided to donate copies to schools across Glasgow and Lanarkshire to help encourage children to talk about what they have in common but also what makes them unique.”
