Join children’s author Aileen Crossley for a hands-on, interactive story time for ages 4 – 7 in Monasterevin Library!

Gather around as Aileen reads her new children’s book Where the Tree Dogs Fly, featuring beautiful illustrations, songs and stories in both English and Irish. Children can sing along with Aileen and her ukulele before creating their own drawings inspired by the story.

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.
