We are very excited to announce that Shooting for the Stars, written by Dr Norah Patten and illustrated by our Plum Jennifer Farley, has been shortlisted for Children’s Book of the Year at the An Post Irish Book Awards!
The Irish Book Awards was founded in 2006 by Derek Hughes, and the main message was
“to celebrate the extraordinary quality of Irish writing, to help bring the best books to a wider readership annually, and to promote an industry under intense competitive pressures." (https://www.irishbookawards.irish/about/)
Since the awards’ conception, the three initial categories have grown to eighteen categories each representing a different genre in the world of literature, and the general public of readers vote for the winners each year. The Awards has become more popular each year, and highlights of the Awards Dinner have been shown on RTÉ television since 2011. In 2018, headline sponsorship passed from Bord Gáis Energy to An Post.

Jennifer Farley has been a part of the Plum Pudding family since April 2017, and we just love her expressive characters and eye-catching non-fiction work!
Shooting for the Stars (published by O'Brien Press in September 2019) follows Norah’s journey into the world of astronauts and space. In 2017 she was selected to take part in Project Possum, a scientist-astronaut training programme, and she is now on her way to becoming Ireland’s first astronaut!
The book takes the reader on an exciting journey through space, with fantastic illustrations by Jennifer that show what astronauts do to prepare for a space mission, what life is like in space, and what the astronauts do on spacewalks:
