Roisin Conaty Instagram – CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT GIVING!
@roisinconaty1 must be feeling festive, too, because she gave her time to read the audio guide for our tactile adaptation of Julia Donaldson’s holiday favourite, What the Ladybird Heard at Christmas!
In a big old house, the ladybird is visiting her friend, the spider, for the festive season. But those two bad men, Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len, are up to no good again. They have a devious plan – to steal the children’s Christmas presents from their stockings! It’s a good thing that the clever little ladybird has overheard their awful plotting, and she has a cunning plan to make sure they don’t get away with it.
Our Touch to See adaptation contains three tactile versions of @lydiamonks_illustrator’s brilliant illustrations, all handmade by our team of trained volunteers: there’s Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len, the Ladybird and its animal friends, and a spooky ghost bound to scare would-be robbers away!
Also included in the book are braille inserts on clear plastic sheets and a fun audio descriptive guide, read by the wonderful Roisin Conaty. Her voice guides little fingers over the tactile illustrations and describes all the illustrations in the book, helping blind and visually impaired children to experience the magic of the story.
Thank you so much, Roisin, for your amazing support.
What the Ladybird Heard at Christmas is available now to borrow from our FREE postal library.
