Emilio the Emoo! is Coming to Starbucks!
Big news! We’re beyond excited to announce that Emilio the Emoo! is heading to Starbucks! We’ve teamed up with Starbucks to bring our CEO Emer Cleary’s first children’s book to life through special in-store readings, creating magical moments for little readers and their families. And there are even some free treats in store too with hot chocolate for the kids and complimentary coffee for parents/guardians!
What’s Happening?
Starbucks locations across Ireland will be hosting free Emilio the Emoo! reading events, where kids (and their grown-ups) can enjoy a fun, interactive storytelling session – all while sipping on a free hot chocolate (with complimentary coffee for the parents too!)
And if you grab a copy of Emilio the Emoo! from www.emuink.ie, you’ll also receive an exclusive Emilio-themed bookmark AND a Starbucks voucher for delicious drinks.
What’s Emilio the Emoo! all About?
Emilio the Emoo! isn’t just a book, he’s an emu like no other. With his vibrant feathers, neurodiverse traits, and a moo (thanks to his loving adoptive cow parents), he’s different in all the best ways. His story is one of self-acceptance, confidence, and embracing what makes you unique.
Why This Partnership?
At Emu Ink, we’ve spent over a decade nurturing young writers and helping kids share their stories with the world. Now, teaming up with Starbucks means we can bring Emilio’s adventure to even more young readers, in a warm, welcoming space where families can connect, listen, and enjoy the magic of books together.
“As a company, we’ve always been about encouraging creativity and a love of storytelling in children,” says author Emer Cleary, Founder & CEO of Emu Ink Publishing. “This partnership with Starbucks Ireland is a perfect fit – it allows us to share Emilio’s story in a way that brings families together for something special.”
Celine Gilmer of Starbucks Ireland agrees:
“At Starbucks, we love creating spaces for connection and community. Supporting Emilio the Emoo! ties in perfectly with that – helping to inspire young readers and give families a chance to enjoy quality time together.”
