A spotlight is to be turned on the Gaelic language as part of a free book event on Thursday 23 January, which will be broadcast live over the internet to Gaelic-speaking pupils across Scotland as part of the Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme.

BBC presenter Derek Macintosh will host the event, and novelist, playwright and theatre artist Catriona Lexy Campbell will perform three stories from the Scottish Children’s Book Awards Bookbug Readers shortlist; Paper Dolls, Jumblebum and What’s the Time Mr Wolf?

The free Authors Live event, run by Scottish Book Trust and BBC Scotland Learning is suitable for children aged 3-7 and will be streamed live from the BBC Scotland Learning website on Thursday 23 January at 11 am. Pupils can tune in to watch it in the comfort of their classroom, library or computer suite.

All the events are available to watch again at www.bbc.co.uk/authorslive and http://www.scottishbooktrust.com/learning/authors-live/on-demand.
