This Week's Book Recommendation for Younger Children

Back to News

31st Oct 2021

This week’s feature book for our younger children is Ossiri and the Bala Mengro by Richard O’Neill.

The Waterstones Review

A Traveller girl creates her own musical instrument from a willow branch and lots of recycled objects. She plays it enthusiastically, but it sounds terrible! Ignoring warnings not to awaken the ogre in the hills, Ossiri goes there to practise playing her instrument. Will she wake the ogre, and will it appreciate her playing? Told by a Romani storyteller and a picture book author, this original tale offers a fascinating insight into Travelling lifestyles and cultures. Please click here if you would like to purchase the book or find out more about it. Thank you.

Pope Francis (1936-2025)

Eternal rest,

Grant unto him, O Lord,

And let perpetual light shine upon him.

May he rest, in peace.

Amen
