Mairi Hedderwick è celebrata per la sua amata serie di libri per bambini su Katie Morag, che scrive e illustra. Il suo lavoro è profondamente radicato nelle Highlands e nelle isole della Scozia, un paesaggio che ha chiamato casa e da cui ha tratto ispirazione per decenni. La scrittura di Hedderwick cattura l'essenza della vita isolana, sottolineando spesso la sua semplicità e il profondo legame con la natura. Il suo stile distintivo dà vita all'atmosfera unica di questi luoghi remoti ma vibranti per i lettori.
