A Ukrainian author and publisher living locally has fused Irish and Ukrainian story telling together in a new children's book.
Halyna Budilova left Ukraine with her two young sons in the weeks after Russia's invasion of her home country.
Settleing in Longford, the translator and book publisher started working on her own book telling her families story using Irish folklore and history.
The book tells the story of young boys Daniel and Demian who, along with their mother, are forced to leave their home for life in the Irish countryside.
Using Irish, poetry, music and games, the book shows the beauty of life even in dark times.
Daniel Considine spoke to Halyna earlier about her book A Magical Summer in Tír na nÓg, her love of the Irish language and staying positive in tough times.
