Is cailín beag í Rita le smaointe móra. Ba bhreá léi eitilt i spáslong go dtí pláinéad eile agus eachtrán a bheith aici mar chara. Tuigeann Rita nach mbíonn sé éasca teanga agus nósanna nua a fhoghlaim. Agus tiontóidh an t-eachtrán saol Rita (agus an leabhar seo!) bunoscionn.
Rita is a little girl with big ideas. She would love to fly in a spaceship to another planet and have an alien as a friend. Rita understands that it is not easy to learn a new language and customs. And the adventure will turn Rita’s life (and this book!) upside down.
Máire Zepf has written 12 books for children, from picture books to a YA verse novel. Winner of the KPMG Children’s Book of the Year, the Réics Carló Award and a White Raven in 2020, her books appear in 8 languages worldwide. The Co. Down author was the first Children’s Writing Fellow for Northern Ireland, based at the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry at QUB (2017-19). She is Artistic Director for Quotidian - Word on the Street.
About her series, Máire said, ‘Rita is a little girl with VERY big ideas. She has lots of adventures coming up in which she dreams up fantastical solutions to ordinary problems, often with hilarious results! Each book is based around a different character and centres on a new theme. There will be robots and dragons, ninjas, genies and a fairy godmother who will help her explore notions from fairness and order to the genderisation of clothing and emotional regulation.’
