Eoin O’Brien is a songwriter and musician, a writer and illustrator. He enjoys nothing more than a good old singsong around a kitchen table or a bonfire. He lives in beautiful Finglas in north Dublin, and has two fantastic children.Audrey Dowling is a French artist and illustrator living in County Kilkenny. She initially pursued a career in the fashion industry in Paris but somehow ended up in the Irish countryside. Her surroundings inspire her work, as well as folklore from all cultures, fairy tales and vintage imagery. Her universe is colourful and narrative, often praised as graceful and poetic.

The colourful illustrations are intricate in detail and each page is framed or decorated with traditional Celtic symbols where the meeting of these features echo the fluid nature and aesthetic of the artwork found in The Book of Kells. This is a charming collection of rhythmic stories that couples as a practical and engaging introduction to young readers about the necessity of cadence and flow in the read and enjoyment of poetry. Recommended for three- to seven-year-olds
