Muireann

Nuair a mhúsclaíonn Muireann san oíche, tá rud éigin mícheart, iomlán mícheart. Níl an teach solais taobh amuigh dá fuinneog ag splancarnach níos mó! Tá Daidí amuigh ag iascaireacht san oíche ina bháidín dearg. Gan an teach solais, cad é mar a dhéanfaidh sé a bhealach go sábháilte isteach sa chuan? Caithfidh Molly an solas a chur ag obair arís…go gasta!_x000D_ _x000D_ Scéal drámatúil croíúil é seo faoi mhisneach, diongbháilteacht agus grá._x000D_ _x000D_ Leabhair sa tsraith:_x000D_ • Muireann agus an Fharraige Fhiáin_x000D_ • Muireann agus an Míol Mór

Nuair a mhàºsclaà­onn Muireann maidin amhà¡in, tà¡ an teach folamh. Bhà­ a hathair amuigh ag iascaireacht ar an fharraige fhià¡in is nà­or fhill sà© fà³s. Tà³gann sà­ na rudaà­ is luachmhaire dà¡ bhfuil aici sà­os chun an chuain: loicà©ad prà¡is agus fiche sliogà¡n fà­nicà­n beag istigh ann, griangraf dà¡ hathair agus an bhà¡bà³g is ansa là©i, Nà³ra. Tà¡ sà­ chun iad a ofrà¡il don fharraige chun a hathair a fhà¡il ar ais slà¡n sà¡bhà¡ilte. Ach an dtabharfaidh an fharraige fhià¡in a hathair agus na haithreacha eile ar ais arà­s à³n turas iascaireachta? Scà©al draà­ochtach faoi chreideamh, à­obairt agus dà³chas le hàºdar ardaitheanta agus le maisitheoir ardiomrà¡. 'Timeless and heart-warming, this tale speaks of love, sacrifice and hope. Doyles' pitch-perfect writing pull us through the story with gentle, soothing tones inspiring the reader to look deeper, go further. Great care and consideration is given to depicting a vignette of the life of this small island girl. Using clear, concise language, he weaves the story with just the right amount of drama and nuance and conveys a message that everything will be all right. The stunning pictures by Whitson lend mood and atmosphere, with the use of light and colour adapting to each page. The effect is simply magical. This is a wonder of a book; perfectly illustrated and loving told; one you will want to read and share again and again.' Mary Esther Judy, Children's Bookseller

Tà¡ iontas an domhain ar Mhuireann agus ar Dhà³nall nuair a thagann siad ar mhà­ol mà³r ar an trà¡. Taispeà¡nann Daidà­ dà³ibh an dà³igh le càºram a thabhairt don mhà­ol mhà³r agus iad ag fanacht leis an là¡n mara theacht isteach. Oibrà­onn na pà¡istà­ agus a gcairde le chà©ile chun à­ a choinneà¡il fliuch fionnuar agus chun dà­og a thochailt fàºithi. Ceolann Muireann lena suaimhniàº. Ach an à©ireoidh leo an mà­ol mà³r a thabhairt slà¡n? An dara leabhar sa tsraith a thosaigh leis an leabhar ardiomrà¡, Muireann agus an Fharraige Fhià¡in. Scà©al à¡lainn arna scrà­obh agus arna mhaisiຠag beirt mhà¡istrà­. Le Malachy Doyle agus Andrew Whitson 'With lovely, simple, emotional text, the reader is placed right in the story; feeling every moment and effort and really invested in the outcome. [...] There is a real sense of community in this book; reliance upon each other, working together with a common, selfless goal. As the story goes on, the sense of compassion and empathy builds, encompassing every page. (And this is done as much through the illustrations as the text.) Gripping, evocative, caring and quietly joyous.' Mary Esther Judy, Fallen Star Stories 'This is a moving tale from a skilful storyteller and equally talented illustrator about the power of empathy and teamwork. Doyle's engaging narrative is vividly brought to life by Whitson's colourful artwork.' Jenny White, Western Mail
