The children’s picture book, Cearc an Phrompa, written by Colmán Ó Raghallaigh, and illustrated by Annie West, has been selected by a European jury to represent Ireland at an exhibition of books from each of the 27 countries of the EU which will take place from October 11 2008 to January 4 2009 at Bibliothèque Nationale de France (National Library of France) in Paris.
Cearc an Phrompa was published by Cló Mhaigh Eo in 2004 and is a witty retelling of the international children’s folktale “Chicken Licken”. The exhibition, entitled Tour of Europe in 27 picture books will consist of large panels, each dedicated to a European country represented by a children’s book. Each panel will show enlarged images from the book, accompanied by short texts and information regarding the country’s children’s literature.
