Athy author Steffi Fennelly has launched her first children's book 'The World is in Our Hands'.

The colourful book is a magical Irish adventure that helps young readers better understand climate change and endangered species, and is catered for readers between the ages of 3-12.

What starts as a game of hide-and-seek in an old library quickly turns into the adventure of a lifetime. Emilie, Harry, Jack, Jasmine, and Hee-ji are pulled into a magical book—and land in the Arctic, where the walruses William, Wanda, and Wandum ask for their help.
