FÚM FÉIN - About Máire

I have written 16 books for children, from picture books to a YA verse novel.

 

Winner of the KPMG/CBI Children’s Book of the Year, 5 LAI Children’s Book Awards and 2 international White Ravens among many others, my books appear in 10 languages worldwide.

Most recently, I have written and presented a TV adaptation of my ‘Rita’ series of picture books with illustrator Mr. Ando for TG4.

 

I have also written a new animated series called ‘Lí Ban’ with Paper Owl Films (TG4/S4C/BBC Alba).

In 2017-19 I was the first Children’s Writing Fellow for Northern Ireland, based at the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry at QUB.

Tógadh le Gaeilge i gCo. an Dúin mé agus is gael go smior mé.
