Girls Play Too

 

Girls Play Too by RTÉ sports presenter Jacqui Hurley and Merrion Press is a new and inspiring book which celebrates Ireland’s talented sportswomen. It was a delight to be asked to be one of five Irish female illustrators to illustrate this incredible book for children. Each illustrator drew five sportswomen. I was tasked with illustrating jockey Rachael Blackmore, rugby / basketball and GAA star Lindsay Peat, para-cyclist Katie-George Dunlevy, boxer Kellie Harrington, and referee Joy Neville.

The response has been fantastic since the release last month. I’m honoured to be part of such an important book which helps to highlight Ireland’s sportswomen, and give them a more visible platform. Hope you enjoy reading it too! ~ Rachel x
