It’s very unusual for a book for young readers to get a full review all to itself like this — usually they are confined to round-ups.

Goes to show how #BlackAndIrishBook is making waves! 🌊

(It would be great to see more kids’ books given this treatment…)

Absolutely delighted to be part of this book! Thank you Leon Diop and @brifitzsimons for including a chapter about me among stories about some incredible people. #BlackandIrishbook
