The IBBY Collection of outstanding books for and about young people with disabilities has arrived in Clondalkin Library. You can catch it there until Monday 5 March.   To celebrate this new leg of the tour, here is Committee Member Tatyana Feeney's top pick: Un Hueco (A Hole) by Yael Frankel from Argentina. Tatyana says: "The book I have chosen is Number 17 in the collection, Un Hueco (A Hole). What appeals to me about this book is the simplicity not only of the illustrations, but of the concept. A hole inside is a perfect way to describe grief, and this book shows the hole with such simple, yet sophisticated, illustrations that even the youngest readers can understand the feelings the hole represents. This is a book that could prompt conversations and possibly make discussion easier for even the youngest children who may have suffered a loss."

The IBBY Collection of outstanding books for and about young people with disabilities has arrived in Leixlip Library. You can catch it there until Monday 26 February.   To whet your appetite, here is committee member Debbie Thomas's special pick from the collection: LES CHIENS (contraires) THE DOGS (opposites)
Debbie says: Long and short, asleep and awake, wide-eyed and sneaky – dogs are everywhere in this brilliantly simple and hilarious French language book of opposites. Bright colours and eyes to die for draw in both confident and struggling readers, and the smartly-placed flaps are just begging to be flapped. A triumph of design, wit and accessibility to children with learning challenges, and an unforgettable French vocabulary guide for mainstream readers.
