Award-winning author, Wendy White, publishes  Three Cheers for Wales just as the Six Nations competition is due to kick off and, as the title suggests, there’s plenty of cheering for Wales!

Following on from the success of Welsh Cakes and Custard – which won the English Tir na n’Og award in 2014 – Emyr Rhys and Betsi Wyn are back…

With an offer of two spare tickets to the match and two spare seats on the minibus, Emyr and Da-cu excitedly grab their scarves and join their friends on the bus. But having arrived at the Millennium Stadium, Da-cu realises that he’s left mobile phone at home – how will they let Nain know where they are? With their eyes on the big screen and armed with plenty of daffodil hats, white card and a marker pen, they hope that the cameraman spot them!

Emyr and Da-cu’s adventure at the Millennium Stadium is one of five delightful stories about Emyr Rhys and Betsi Wyn. Other stories include getting stranded on Caldey Island, dressing up as a frog and a school trip to a Victorian school.The stories also celebrate the special bond between children and their grandparents as Mam-gu and Da-cu play very important roles in the adventures of their young grandchildren.

Published by Pont Books, exciting times – and funny moments – fill these five new stories for young readers, with illustrations by Helen Flook, reflecting the gentle humour of the text.
