Owen Sheers - Writing my first children's book

Owen Sheers talks with Sian Collins about writing his first children’s book after twenty years of writing poetry, fiction, plays and TV for adults.

Drew, Moo & Bunny Too was inspired by Drew Barker-Wright, who tragically passed away from a rare form of childhood cancer aged 4. Owen worked with Drew’s parents to develop the book to raise funds for the charity they set up in Drew’s name.

Ar ôl ysgrifennu ar gyfer oedolion am ugain mlynedd, bydd yr awdur a’r bardd Owen Sheers yn siarad am ei heriau o ysgrifennu ei lyfr plant cyntaf.

Bydd Owen Sheers yn siarad gyda Sian Collins am ysgrifennu ei lyfr plant cyntaf ar ôl ugain mlynedd o farddoni, ysgrifennu ffuglen, dramâu a rhaglenni teledu i oedolion.

Ysbrydolir y cymeriadau Drew, Moo & Bunny Too gan Drew Barker-Wright, a ddioddefodd o gancr prin plentyndod a arweiniodd at ei farwolaeth trist pan yn 4 oed. Gweithiodd Owen gyda rhieni Drew i ddatblygu’r llyfr i godi arian i’r elusen a gafodd ei greu yn enw Drew.
