Cóisir Nollag le Síle Sneachta (Leabhar 5)

Description

“Tá na maisiucháin in airde agus am anois don chraic,
Tá cóisir Nollag ag Síle Sneachta agus tá fáilte mhór roimh chách.
Ag gáire, ag ceol agus ag sleamhnú leo le fonn, Fir sneachta, lorga cosa, tá gach cineál súgartha ann.
Déanann toit dhubh ó na Truailleáin Dhalba scamall mór sa spéir,
Sciobann Oilibhéar Ola mála Shíle, ag scapeadh sneachta leis san aer.
Ach téann rudaí ar strae, tá na patrúin aimsire ag athrú,
Ón ioglú féin, feiceann siad an sneachta bán ag méadú.
Muna leánn an sneachta, beidh orthu fanacht sa teach agus iad gafa!
Cé a dhéanfaidh tarrtháil orthu, le ligean dóibh súgradh sa sneachta?”

It’s Christmas time in Skytown, and winter hostess with the mostest, Síle Sneachta, is throwing a magical Christmas party. Her Weatherbie friends are having a blast – until, that is, Na Truailleáin show up and wreak havoc with the weather… This colourful Christmas picture book helps explain climate change to little learners through a cast of memorable characters, making it easy to remember key concepts about the world around us and the need to take good care of our planet.

The Weatherbies books make lovely gifts for children, playgroups or schools. Also available in English as Flo Snow’s Christmas Party – choose one book or get the pair for parallel learning!
