Mary Murphy is known for her bright, strong artwork and her simple, lyrical books for babies, toddlers and younger children. Join Mary live as she shares her delightful Christmas-themed book, Little Owl and the Christmas Star. 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).

A live interactive event, delivered digitally.

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!
