Mountains to Sea Festival

Swapna HaddowRoosting With Dave

On Sunday, Sheena and I took Dave Pigeon to meet the lovely folk of Dublin at the Mountains to Sea Book Festival.

IMG_0622We ran a ‘Dave Pigeon: Art and Story Fun’ event were the children who attended drew their own pigeon characters and created their own pigeon adventure.

We met ‘Harry the Pigeon’ and took Dave Pigeon on a terrific adventure from a forest to the park where he escaped a wolf attack, only to fall into an underground trap. But fear not, he was rescued by a group of disco-partying penguins living in the back garden of a nearby house.

We had the best time creating a new world for the pigeons with such brilliant and creative budding young writers and illustrators.
