Full Description
Kids can learn about the impact of climate change at Christmas or any time of year with this charming Irish-language picture book. It is the fifth in Na Weatherbies story book series that features lovable weather characters who make it easy for young children to remember key concepts about the world around us and the need to take good care of our planet.
"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?"

Na Weatherbies are a lovable community of friends who live, learn and play in the wonderful world of Skytown. Through their interactions with the world around them, each other, and the pesky Truailleain, the Weatherbies gang teach pro-social behaviours and values such as co-operation and responsibility.
