Ó Am go hAm

Everyone in Aoife’s house is obsessed with History- everyone except Aoife! She does not understand why her Mother spends all day at the old local monastery looking for hidden treasures underground. When Aoife herself visits the old monastery in the middle of the night, surprisingly, she find out that history is not so boring after all.

Geansaí Ottó

Tá stíl ag Ottó agus is breá leis éadaí deasa. Ach ní thuigeann Mamó rud ar bith faoi chúrsaí faisin. Nuair a thagann geansaí gránna eile sa phost uaithi tá rogha ag Ottó - caithfidh sé rud éigin a dhéanamh... Léifidh Sadhbh óna leabhar nua agus beidh deis agaibh bhur geansaithe féin a dhearadh freisin!

And my favourite #picturebook this year is the amazing #BeWildLittleOne by Irish author @Hopewrites and illuminated by the marvellous art of @DanielEgneus. It's a definite #IrishBooks recommendation for #BookElves2022. A perfect gift for little readers - and not-so-little ones! https://t.co/1zjERJ3FRO
