May 19-23, 2025
As part of National Childhood Services Week 2025, the Museum of Childhood Ireland are very happy to host a recorded read-along / draw-along with Tarsila Kruse. My Little Album of Ireland is a bilingual wordbook from Tarsila & Juliette Saumande. It takes very young readers on an illustrated fun-filled tour of Ireland. Along the way, learn new words in English and Irish. Tarsila is an award-winning illustrator, from Brazil but Irish at heart, and a Gaeilgeoir. She creates illustrations and picturebooks that invite children & grownups to connect to their inner feelings. Scroll down to watch her in action.
You can find My Little Album and many other of Tarsila’s books in your local library. If you’d like your own copy, all Tarsila’s books can be bought from her own website or from her publishers (The O’Brien Press and Futa Fata).
