Morning Belfast! After a brilliant World Book Day in Ballycastle yesterday, I’m ready to kick off the next part of The Golden Hare Book Tour. Today I’m at the Young at Art Belfast Children’s Festival to do school events with Fearghas MacLochlainn.

#WorldBookDay would like to say a BIG thank you for everyone’s support to encourage children to read for pleasure - because it improves life chances.
