Maggie Byrd

Maggie Byrd, a Scottish writer and mum of two has crafted an uplifting and playful story that blends the warmth of family togetherness with key early years learning.

As a parent and teacher, Maggie understands the learning opportunity making things together can create. She has written a hope-filled story to share with younger children about how to brighten a rainy day. Rainbow Cookies cleverly mixes a charming story with growth and development baked in.

Her gentle tale celebrates the simple joy of baking together. A story that she hopes parents, grandparents, and carers will enjoy sharing with little ones as they name colours, count, sing, and learn the value of ‘not yet!’

Rainbow Cookies is also available in Scots Gaelic.
