Nicola Davies picture books publish in Welsh for the first time

Tri llyfr newydd i blant 3-5 mlwydd oed gyda themâu anabledd, profedigaeth a bwlio

Mae Perffaith yn stori o ddisgwyliad, siom, derbyniad ac, yn y pen draw, cariad.

Llyfr lluniau teimladwy yw Y Pwll am fachgen ifanc, a’i deulu, yn goresgyn colli ei dad.

Stori syml yw Y Ferch Newydd gyda neges ingol, ysbrydoledig ac yn y pen draw yn ddyrchafol.

Three new children’s books for 3-5 years with themes of disability, bereavement and bullying

Perffaith is a story of anticipation, disappointment, acceptance and, ultimately, love.

Y Pwll is a touching picture book about a young boy, and his family, overcoming the loss of his father.

Y Ferch Newydd is a simple story with a poignant, inspirational and ultimately uplifting message.

Rhestrwyd Perfect ar restr hir Medal CILIP Kate Greenaway 2017. Enwebwyd The Pond ar gyfer Medal CILIP Kate Greenaway 2018 ac fe’i dewiswyd yn un o Lyfrau Gorau Kirkus Reviews yn 2017.

Meddai Nicola Davies: 'Mae fy ngwaith wedi ei gyfieithu i fwy na 12 o wahanol ieithoedd ledled y byd. Ond nawr am y tro cyntaf mae fy ngeiriau yn iaith gyntaf fy rhieni, ac rwy’n teimlo fy llygaid yn pigo â dagrau yng ngolwg y geiriau Cymraeg hynny ar y dudalen. Rydw i mor falch ac mor browd.’

than 12 different languages around the world. But
now for the first time my words are in my parents’ first
language, and I find my eyes prickling with tears at the
sight of those Welsh words on the page. I’m so pleased
and so proud.’
