The Moira the Moniaive Moggy collection is a locally inspired range of illustrated children’s books and creative activities created, written and illustrated by Keith Shaw Buckley.
Set in and around Moniaive in Dumfries & Galloway, the stories explore belonging, kindness, friendship and helping others through gentle storytelling and detailed watercolour-style illustrations.
