Join Dougie Payne, the bass player with multi-platinum-selling Scottish indie band, Travis, as he brings his debut picture book, Poochie Pete And His Very Big Feet to this year’s Paisley Book Festival. With stories, specially-written songs and live drawing by talented illustrator Rachel Seago. Perfect for 3- to 6-year-old dog lovers.

Despite his good intentions, Poochie Pete’s feet are always causing chaos wherever he goes. He longs to find his place in the world, somewhere he belongs. But it’s not until he discovers a music shop and its helpful owner, Henry Large, that he finds his own song and the place where his heart truly feels at home.
