Acclaimed Belfast author and illustrator Oliver Jeffers is pleased that Billie Eilish will read his children’s book “This Moose Belongs to Me” on CBeebies Bedtime Story later today (Friday).
“This Moose Belongs to Me,” released in 2012 and featured on the New York Times best seller list, follows a boy named Wilfred who claims a moose named Marcel as his own. The story explores themes of ownership and freedom as Wilfred learns a valuable lesson when someone else also claims Marcel.
Billie Eilish, an Academy and Grammy Award-winning artist – and a vegan – highlighted the significance of the story, emphasizing the need to care for wild creatures while allowing them their freedom. Eilish fondly recalled her love for bedtime stories as a child.
In the past, Jeffers illustrated the vinyl cover for U2’s song “Ordinary Love” in 2013 and contributed to the band’s “Innocence + Experience” tour in 2015.
CBeebies Bedtime Story airs on weekdays at 6:50 pm on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer, and has featured readers such as Tom Hardy, Kate Winslet, and Steve Carell.
