O'Brien Picture Books

O'Brien have so many amazing books coming out, I couldn't fit them all in on their own posts! So here's a roundup of three fantastic picture books I can't wait to start selling.


Little Skunk loves playing with his cuddly toy, Sniffy.

Any time Skunk feels scared or sad, a sniff of Sniffy makes everything right.

But one day Sniffy goes missing and loses that special smell.

Skunk is heartbroken.

Can Mama help make Sniffy his old sniffeable self again?


First published in Irish, this is a sweet story about a youngster's teddy bear and the special bond between parent and child. I loved all the clever details in the illustrations! There's a lot to look at here, including a fun maze inside the cover for children to solve and find Sniffy!


Mimi is a tiny bee with a tiny voice.

The bees need to find a nice spot for a new hive - somewhere with lots of flowers and trees.

Mimi finds the perfect place, but when she tries to tell everybee about it, nobee can hear her.

It's time to dance!


Poor Mimi can't make herself heard, but the waggle dance might be just the thing! This will definitely get a few young readers wilding their gardens, and the waggle dance might be the next big thing in schools. Love it.



On a mysterious, foggy island, way out at sea, stands an upside-down lighthouse. Here, fish fly and birds swim. Stars shine during the day and waterfalls fall upwards!

Come with Grandad and Meara to this topsy-turvy island full of wonders. And share the magic of looking at the world upside-down!


Meara and Grandad are out exploring again and this might be their most magical trip of all. With flying fish, swimming birds, and an upside down lighthouse approached through a waterfall that flows up, this story will delight young readers who enjoy a bit of whimsy.
