TWO NEW BOOKS

I am just about to launch two new children's picture books:

MEET THE FAIRIES IN MY BACKYARD 

This is a book about my friends the fairies.....

Lovely review by GRAINNE CLEAR RTEJr LITTLE PAGES


Meet the Fairies in My Back Yard educates young readers on the many types of plants and flowers in their garden, as well as the beautiful fairy folk who live amongst their leaves. Its bright illustrations and rhyming text will make it appealing to any young reader, but it will be especially well received by children with an interest in the natural or magical world.

THE ADVENTURES OF JENNY, SYLVESTER AND THEIR SIX LITTLE CHICKS....this is a follow up to my book JENNY THE LITTLE BROWN HEN.......




This is the story of how Jenny got impatient in her hen run and took the Sylvester and the chicks out for an adventure......

Lovely Review by Patricia Forde Children's Author



Illustrated with vibrant pictures bursting with colour,  Dolores Keaveney spins a sensitive story of lazy hens and Summer days, great adventures,  and the warmth of home.  Be warned!  This is the kind of story that children will want read to them again, and again and again…"


Patricia Forde Children’s Author http://www.patriciaforde.com



Both of the above books will be available to purchase on my website www.doloreskeaveney,com  and on   http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=DOLORES+KEAVENEY+BOOKS  and hopefully in all good bookshops.

SCARY STORY TELLING HALLOWEEN 2012

A great evening reading scary stories in a beautiful shop in Mullingar called Red Earth.    It was packed with children of all ages, dressed amazingly for Halloween.




THE BEES BIG DAY OUT

 I was delighted to attend the launch of Bee Hives sculptures, by Mark Rode at THE BEES BIG DAY OUT in Knocknacarra NS Galway yesterday when this Art Project was brought to fruition by the dreams, creativity and dedicated work of a brilliant and very busy team the KNS Hive and Team of Bees... the sculptures were stunning and I must congratulate the School on their 2 year project on bees. It is amazing. Looking forward to seeing the DVD which I had a small role in...
