About Where the Tree Dogs Fly 
In a love letter from mother nature to a troubled child, the reader is transported to the child’s favourite places, with animals reimagined by how the Irish language describes them. Foxgloves become fairies, squirrels become tree dogs, ladybirds become little cows, stoats become little ladies and dolphins become sea pigs.  
The reader is also invited to practice mindfulness and self love along the way.

Illustration by Aileen Crossley.
