Donkeys were essential on Irish farms before tractors came along. Today, you’re as likely to find them on film sets, modestly swapping stories with their co-stars, as happily grazing in a field.
Irish donkeys have seen it all, and now they’re here to share their wisdom with you.
Out now!

Happy publication day to ‘That's It, Said the Dandelion’ written by Nicola Reddy and illustrated by @roisinhahessy.bsky.social
As a dandelion turns from seed to flower to fluffy puffball, she wonders what life is all about. A tender tale of growth and change that’s perfect for bedtime reading.
