Welsh Language Book Review

Sw Sara Mai gan Casia Wiliam

Sw Sara Mai gan Casia Wiliam

Sw Sara Mai gan Casia Wiliam

Roedd Casia yn Fardd Plant Cymru rhwng 2017 a 2019, dyma ei nofel ddiwrddaraf i blant sef Sw Sara Mai. Pan oedd Casia yn blentyn roedd yn awyddus i fod yn geidwad sw, felly dyna oedd ysbrydoliaeth y nofel yma.

Stori am Sara Mai ydy hon a'i bywyd hi. Mae'n byw mewn sw a mam Sara Mai yw ceidwad y sw. Mae Sara yn gwirioni ar yr anifeiliaid ac yn gwybod popeth amdanyn nhw.

Yn yr ysgol mae Sara Mai yn cael ei bwlio gan ferch newydd sy'n dweud pethau hiliol, cas wrthi.

Yn y nofel rydym yn dilyn bywyd Sara wrth iddi ddelio efo'r bwlis a gorfod achub y peth pwysicaf yn ei bywyd, sef y sw.

Mae'r nofel yn ymdrin â'r themau o hiliaeth a bwlio ond mae yna ddigon o ysgafnder a digrifwch drwy'r nofel.
