Muireann Ní Chíobháin
Muireann Ní Chíobháin is an author, storyteller and performer. You might also see her bouncing about your TV sometimes on RTÉjr and TG4. When she’s not inventing or telling stories, she’s doodling or playing with her young sons, cooking or swimming in the sea – not at the same time of course! She has published 4 books to date - Scúnc agus Smúirín (Futa Fata), GIY’s Know-it-ALLmanac (GIY), The Eoinín series (Futa Fata) and Murphy’s Law (The O’Brien Press).
