Wild City

By Ashwin Chacko

The city is wild, the city is free. The city has wonderful things to see … 

Meet Lily and Tim, our brave adventurers. They might look like your average neighbourhood kids, but they have a secret … 

When they go into the city, with a SNAP! … a CLAP! … and a ZAP!, they can turn the boring … amazing! A trip on the Luas becomes a submarine adventure. The Spire becomes a Time Machine Tower. Activate your superpower with Lily and Tim on a fantastic adventure around Dublin city! 

A fun and imaginative picture book about discovering adventure everywhere, from author and illustrator Ashwin Chacko.
