Mairi Hedderwick je známa predovšetkým svojou obľúbenou sériou detských kníh o Katie Morag. Jej diela, ktoré často aj ilustruje, čerpajú inšpiráciu z jej hlbokého spojenia so škótskou vysočinou a ostrovmi, kde žila a vychovala svoju rodinu. Hedderwicková stelesňuje ducha týchto drsných, no krásnych krajín, často sa zameriavajúc na jednoduchosť života a silné puto k prírode. Jej talent spočíva v zachytení podstaty škótskeho života a zdieľaní tejto jedinečnej atmosféry so čitateľmi všetkých vekových kategórií.
