This event was available on-demand from Saturday, Sept 11th to October 4th
For Dublin Book Festival at Solas Nua, in association with Culture Ireland, join award-winning Irish children’s author Erika McGann and best-selling children’s author and illustrator Gerry Daly for a fun-filled 'Where Are You, Puffling?' interactive story and art event. Meet Puffling and her family & friends, listen to a story, see how you can draw some of the animals from the book (puffins, pufflings, rabbits, seals!) and learn a little about Ireland’s wildlife, and sealife, along the way!
Gerry Daly is a children’s author and illustrator from Co. Wicklow, who now lives in Dublin. He studied Fine Art at IADT, and has worked in the fields of graphic design and website development. His books include the best-selling Where Are You, Puffling? and Wee Donkey’s Treasure Hunt, both with Erika McGann. An Irish language edition of ‘Puffling’ - Cá Bhfuil Puifín Beag?, translated by Muireann Ní Chíobháin, was published in 2020. Gerry’s new book, Finn’s First Song, a delightful picture book adventure about a little whale, was published in February 2021. Gerry loves to paint birds and animals, from the tiniest to the biggest of them all!
