And the launch of 'Making It Up As You Go Along: A Children's Guide to Writing Stories'.

A gorgeous thing to make. Mary Murphy's illustration is so funny and smartly pitched. And Trish – well. She's kids-lit's answer to Miggeldy, complete with cries of "Please don't go!"

Mary Murphy has kindly donated her original illustrations from her book Happy. Do check it out sooner rather than later if you're interested, there's only FOUR pieces left!

As always, all funds raised go straight to @medicalaidpal.bsky.social

Mary Murphy is another outstanding picture book maker for young children aged 2/3+. I adore Chirp, an ode to the dawn chorus with strong, vibrant artwork and lyrical text. And What I Like Most for age 4+ is such a beautiful picture book. #BookElves2024 #DiscoverIrishKidsBooks
