Biographical note
Serena Molloy was born in Wexford, Ireland, and is an English teacher who has taught in different schools across the UK. She settled in Galway with her family, where she can see the sea every day. As a mum of four, her house is always noisy but never, ever dull. Serena's novels are a celebration of neurodiversity, empathy and the power to change. George is an illustrator, maker and avid reader from England. He works digitally and loves illustrating all things curious and mysterious. He is always trying to incorporate new artiness from the various world cultures he reads about and explores.A heartwarming, hopeful read with accessibility and understanding at its core, I know this book will be very important to a lot of children who need to see themselves reflected in the stories they read.
Ruth Ennis, Books Ireland Magazine
A gentle and moving story of friendship, hope and self-discovery ... celebrates neurodiversity and the power to change.
Patricia Forde, Laureate na nÓg (Ireland's Children's Laureate) in Irish Times magazine
The star of this novel, the friendship between Ró and Cian (The Bean) is done perfectly, capturing that unsteady moment when fiercely loyal childhood friendship tips towards more romantic feelings. A really classy debut.
Irish Examiner
an uplifting story
Irish Sunday Times, Children’s Book of the Week
Molloy's powerful story about a girl who feels broken, and the dolphin who makes her feel complete, is enhanced by Ermos' illustrations. This uplifting tale celebrates self-acceptance, inclusivity and readers of all abilities.
