Abstract

Hiya in there wee bairn

It’s never too early to start getting to know your baby. The ‘Hello in there wee one’ book goes out to all parents-to-be across Dundee to encourage them to start bonding and thinking about their baby, before they arrive. This book has been translated by Taylor Dyson and Ali Heather into Dundonian Scots and this Dundonian edition has now been published.

This project was funded by the United Nations Children’s Rights Commission through CORRA. It brought together a collaboration of partners from NHS Tayside, Dundee City Council, Dundee Contemporary Arts and University of Dundee. We all wanted to support children’s voice from the very beginning by encouraging pre-birth communication where parents-to-be can get to know their bumps and start feeling connected to their baby.

Vicky Armstrong, Claire Norfolk, Ali Heather and Taylor Dyson ran a session with Douglas Tots Group to help families to feed into the Dundonian Translation, before Ali and Taylor made a final translation and recorded a video of this being read aloud.
