Do you love magical adventures and fun activities? Come along and meet poet Owen Sheers and hear about his children’s book Drew, Moo and Bunny too.
Three best friends fly around the world on a magic rug, powered by the friendship they share. Along the way, they run into pirates and trouble on the dark sea. Can the three best friends find what they need to return home?
Drew, Moo and Bunny Too was inspired by Drew Barker-Wright, a real little boy who passed away from a rare form of childhood cancer at the age of four. The Drew Barker-Wright Charity, to whom Owen will be donating 50% of all proceeds, was set up in Drew’s name to raise awareness, help fund research and support families in the UK affected by paediatric chordoma.

Mae tri ffrind gorau yn hedfan o amgylch y byd ar ryg hud, wedi'u pweru gan y cyfeillgarwch y maent yn ei rannu. Ar hyd y ffordd, maent yn rhedeg i mewn i fôr-ladron a helynt ar y môr tywyll. A all y tri ffrind gorau ddod o hyd i'r hyn sydd ei angen arnynt i ddychwelyd adref?
