Ros Muc writer making mark on World Book Day

Cluasa Capaill ar an Rí, a children’s book, written by Ros Muc author Bridget Breathnach and published last year, is featuring on the book tokens scheme for World Book Day on Thursday, March 3.

The book is a retelling of the Labhraí Loingseach story (Lowry and the Ass’s Ears). Published by Futa Fata in An Spidéal and illustrated by Shona Shirley Macdonald, it won the Oireachtas na Gaeilge Children’s Book of the Year Award, Gradam Réics Carló 2021, in October.

A special edition of Cluasa Capaill ar an Rí  is now available for this year’s World Book Day tokens scheme in Ireland, along with another Irish title, Deadly! Irish History: Fun with the Celts and the Vikings!.

UK authors chosen for the scheme include Michael Morpurgo for Jemima the Pig and the 127 Acorns, illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees, and Matt Lucas for My Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Silly Book of True or False, illustrated by Sarah Horne.

For World Book Day, more than 15 million £1/€1.50 book tokens are distributed to children and young people under 18, in partnership with schools and nurseries in Ireland and the UK.
