This week's Top 10 Irish Children's Books is from CharlieByrne'sBooks in Galway.
Wonderful books for all ages, from tiny tots to comic book fans on this list.
Well done to Number 1 Méabh McDonnell with her debut novel for age 9+, Into the Witchwood. #DiscoverIrishKidsBooks

Lovely to be the number one on home turf with such amazing company ! Thanks CharlieByrne'sBooks and Discover Irish Children's Books !!!

It was great to put together this list of brilliant authors from our kids section - many of whom were visiting the shop last Saturday as part of the Laureate na nÓg #WholeWildWorld bus tour, and of course to feature our ‘writer-in-residence’ Méabh McDonnell 🎉!

When in Galway it would be rude not to ransack the shelves CharlieByrne'sBooks (such a treasure trove) Also signed some copies of #quicklywhiletheystillhavehorses #TheFirestarters and #TheRaptures while I was in store.

Cúirt Festival Paddy Donnelly Bookshop visits, sneaky signings and impromptu story times!

Proud to be launching this in one of my favourite bookshops CharlieByrne'sBooks in Galway this Mayday, thanks to all the contributors and to Four Courts Press

Wonderful surprise to have the lovely Méabh McDonnell call in with her gorgeous debut children's novel #IntotheWitchwood from The O'Brien Press & sign books, the Little Acorns Bookstore #LegenDerryWritersChair & have fun. Also a fellow bookseller with CharlieByrne'sBooks - magic! 📚💚

Can you imagine a labyrinthine bookshop with nooks and crannies stuffed to the rafters with possibly every good book that was ever published and booksellers (like Méabh McDonnell) who magically appear with a smile just when you need them? What a shop!!
