The children (and grown-ups) will then have a chance to ask Mary a question, or show her their own cuddly owls or any other animals, real or cuddly! Mary loves dogs so if you have a dog at home, do show her your dog too! Mary is looking forward to meeting book and animal lovers from all over Ireland (and the world).

Mary Murphy

Mary Murphy has written and illustrated more than forty bright, strong books for children including What I Like Most and A Kiss Like This. She lives in Dublin with her two dogs Honey and Alfie. Her latest book, Only a Tree Knows How to be a Tree, was published in March and Little Owl and the Christmas Star is now available as a board book.

Books

Little Owl And The Star

A joyous version of the nativity story told by a curious little owl. It is a silent night and Little Owl is sitting in their tree with a waiting feeling, when a star sparkles along. “Come with me,” says the star, and Little Owl follows, as do three men on camels and shepherds with their sheep. They soon find themselves part of the happiest scene on Earth. Perfect for small hands, this sturdy board book features a sparkly gold starburst foil effect on the cover and a triumphant last page!

Book your crew in for some wonder… And they’ll all read happily ever after!
