An Coileach Codlatach Picture Book

Cáilín is a kind and friendly rooster, but he has one terrible weakness: he simply cannot get up in the morning. He tries everything to mend his ways, and nothing works, until an unexpected visitor arrives at the farm and changes everything. A warm, funny farmyard tale about finding your own place in the world, chosen for the White Ravens international list at the Bologna Children's Book Fair. Written by Nuala Nic Con Iomaire, illustrated by Donough O'Malley.

As Gaeilge

Coileach (KWIL-yukh) is a rooster, and codlatach means "sleepy". So Cáilín is the sleepy rooster who can't quite manage the dawn chorus.
