The Bookseller, Buyer's Guide

When the selfish King captures the wish-granting wild HooBoo, he is taught a lesson he won't forget!
The wild HooBoo sings a magical song – coo, chit churp churee! – that can grant you anything you wish for, if your heart is good and true. But the King’s only desire is selfish and cruel, so when he captures the HooBoo and starts making demands, things don’t quite go as he’d planned . . .
Stunningly illustrated and bursting with colour and kindness, this is a new cautionary tale with a classic feel from award-winning Irish children's author Barry Falls.

Om bidragsyterne

Barry Falls grew up in rural Northern Ireland, where he spent a lot of time drawing pictures and writing stories to go with them. When he got to art college in Belfast, he discovered that he might be able to do such a thing for a living, and was very excited. Since then, he's been picking up multiple awards for the illustration work he does for such clients as The New York Times, American Airlines, The Telegraph and many more besides. His work has appeared in magazines, books, exhibitions, on textiles and homeware, and in advertising campaigns around the world. His first picture book for young children was published in 2019 and since then, his books have been published in many languages around the world. He now lives and works in Co. Down, Northern Ireland.
