Mischievous Magical Maia Malone | Childrens Books Ireland
This is a charming, energetic children’s novel that combines fantasy and humour with emotional depth. The story follows Maia, a 9-year-old girl who can make her drawings come to life! When Maia discovers that she is adopted, she embarks on a perilous adventure to discover who she really is – with her pencils in tow!

This Day in Labor History: July 25, 1973. The Irish Minister of Finance, Richie Ryan, introduced the Civil Service (Employment of Married Women) Act, which ended the nation’s long-standing ban on married women working for the government. Let's talk about this important moment!
