So chuffed to have won this lovely award! I visited these students recently and they were so creative and engaged so I’m really delighted to have their seal of approval 💙🩵💙

This gorgeous review is making me cry! 🌦️

How do I sum this one up? A fairytale on speed! A story of daring originality confidently controlled and peppered with rich and unexpected images, and a touch of ‘Stranger Things’. You’re left with a useful reminder of the benefits of a jolly good cry. @susancahill.bsky.social

Otherworldly,mesmerising, intense.Epic!Loved reading the waves of this story,diving to & from its heartbreak of a core. There sure are fragments of gods in that rain as this is another irish book I've read recently to be so magically inspired!🌊💙📚 @susancahill.bsky.social #KidLit #ReadingForPleasure
