The last stop on Laureate na nÓg #WholeWildWorld tour was the beautiful Kinsale library. Kids were enthralled, white horses, cross nuns and an Irish Yeti! 👏 👏👏 Alan 'Double Trouble is my middle name' Nolan Patricia Forde Children's Books Ireland

Almost there…our second last day of the tour and we spent it on Sherkin in bright sunshine. Alan Nolan, Mary Murphy and Brigid Breathnach pulled out all the stops and entertained children and their families all day. Finished the day on the beach with our audience with us!

Before we trade in our bubblegum bus for a buoyant (hopefully) boat, we still have bookish business on the mainland.

Thankfully we have a whole new gaggle (collective noun suggestions?) of excited Authors and Illustrators! And we have just landed at the gorgeous Bantry Library…
