Squid Squad: Shrimply the Best

This book is on special offer to schools involved in the in-person school visit on Thursday 7th May. The special offer ends on Tuesday 5th May.
Each book ordered will be signed by the author and given to your child on the day.

Dive into a wild undersea comics adventure and join award winning illustrator, author, and comedian Aoife Dooley for an interactive event inspired by her zany, action packed graphic novel series SQUID SQUAD starring Ollie the vampire squid and Zing the toxin squirting sea bunny—two mischievous best friends who just can’t help causing chaos in the deep blue sea.

Packed with bold, colourful artwork and fast, episodic storytelling, Aoife’s books are perfect for getting kids excited about reading—and creating. In this hands on session, Aoife will guide young artists through fun drawing exercises, character creation challenges, and imaginative world building that works for large scale audiences.

Aoife brings her own neurodivergent perspective to her work, championing individuality and showcasing quirky characters inspired by real life unusual creatures (yes, even vampire squids and sea bunnies!). As the celebrated creator of the bestselling Frankie’s World series she has a gift for connecting with readers through humour and heart.

Thank you to all parents who order these books from us. This ensures the amazing initiative remains free to school’s. Books ordered via Our Bookshop will be signed on the day of the event and given to your child.
