Attending the Children’s Books Ireland annual conference looking at truth and lies in children’s books I was introduced to the magnificient award winning Author/Illustrator Barroux.

Making my mark!
The great Oliver Jeffers said “It all starts with the pencil and imagination.”
Shortly after I became a new member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) I met the wonderful Colleen Cailin Jones, Ireland’s Regional Advisor. She has encouraged me to get involved and discover a network that supports and encourages anyone with an active interest in children’s literature from picture books to young adult novels.
ME, myself and I.
‘ME’, ‘Flowery ME’, ‘St. Patrick’s Day ME’ and new ‘Easter ME’, where do I go from here! When I drew my ‘ME’ for my facebook profile little did I know I was creating a character in her own right. There is something special when one of my creations takes on a life of her own!

To create a children’s story book is fun. To create characters that charm children and parents alike is really exciting. But, to be developing a whole concept that takes the characters and their stories onto apps, ibooks, animation & merchandising is beyond my wildest dreams.
As CIARA WINKELMANN ILLUSTRATIONS builds momentum, Winkelwomann sharpens her pencils, skills and determination to see her
bounding about winning the hearts of everyone!
A true designer breed
“Berry” is a true designer fabadoodle soft dog. She is always impeccably groomed and appreciates a quality coat when she sees one. However, when Berry meets ‘Sweaty Betty‘ she discovers – it’s not all about how one looks on the outside but what one possesses on the inside that really counts. This amazing fabadoodle picture book story shows, in the most colourful and fun way how looks can be deceiving.
