Brave Highland Heart
By Heather Kellerhals-Stewart; illustrated by Werner Zimmermann
A little girl is told that she is too young to stay up for the Ceilidh, an evening of dance and celebration; but the bagpipes call to her, and the smell of the food and sound of laughter are too much to resist, so the girl sneaks out of her bed and into the barn to take a closer look.
