Say Hi to Happy Hills With Sophy Henn

This event has ended

Merrion Square Park, Sunday 25th May

Step into the wonderfully wacky world of Happy Hills. Meet Ace the superhero unicorn and a host of hilarious characters before grabbing your pencils and drawing your own.

Sophy Henn can’t wait to introduce you to her brilliant characters and then teach you how to draw your own amazing creations! Packed with laughter, creativity, and larger-than-life fun (including giant danger kittens!), this event is perfect for budding comic artists and unicorn lovers.

Sophy Henn is an award-winning picture book author and illustrator. She created the much-loved Pizazz, Bad Nana, and the Pom Pom series, the Ted board book series, and the nonfiction titles Lifesize and Lifesize Dinosaurs, among others. Her debut picture book, Where Bear?, was nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal and shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize.
