Walk The Walk, an interactive graphic novel for use in facilitated youth and literacy support groups.
Walk The Walk was developed by Scottish Book Trust, in partnership with the Scottish Government, to explore issues around sectarianism and how to tackle it. The story follows one day in the lives of two best friends: Rab McGowan and Robbie Black. It’s the day that Rab’s cousin Kylie is supposed to marry Robbie’s brother Romeo, but there are people at both ends of The Walk who don’t want the wedding to happen.
As the two families face up to their shared past, can Rab and Robbie convince their grans to put their differences aside for just one day?
