Molly and the Lockdown by Malachy Doyle is a story born out of the pandemic, to gently help children understand times of self-isolation & social distancing.
‘This is a beautiful written story based on the Covid 19 pandemic, its told from a child’s point of view and it explains what happened really well. Its written so a child will understand and answers a lot of questions that they might have.‘ –Book Bound
‘A comforting book to share with younger children about the lockdown and emotions and feelings around it, seen through the eyes of young Molly.’ –Sarah Webb, The Irish Independent
‘This book is ideal for sharing with young children and would open up the opportunity to think and talk about their own experiences. It deals with the topic in a sensitive way but does explain some of the reality.‘ –Brenda Heathcote, The School Librarian
Published by Graffeg in collaboration with An tSnáthaid Mhór, in three languages: English, Irish and Welsh. Like the other Molly books, illustrated by Andrew Whitson.
