No pumpkins?!Halloween is coming to Mrs Quirke's classroom but this year there are no pumpkins.Instead the children are handed hard little turnips and a piece of Irish history they didn't expect.As they struggle, complain, laugh and try again something ancient begins to stir. Whiskers' whiskers glow a strange new blue. Shadows gather. And the classroom fills with a kind of magic that doesn't shout it listens.With the help of mysterious shadow helpers the children discover that some things are harder than they look, some traditions run deeper than they knew and some magic only appears when you're willing to be patient, brave and grateful even when you don't understand everything.Whiskers Whispers - The Turnip Lanterns is a gentle, funny and quietly magical story about creativity, courage and the unexpected light that appears when things don't go to plan.Perfect for classroom read alouds and thoughtful young readers.
