CHILDRENS BOOK FESTIVAL WEEK OCTOBER 2009 READINGS IN KILKENNY, WATERFORD, WEXFORD

I have just come back from reading my book in libraries in Kilkenny, Waterford, Wexford and Mullingar. I read to 12 different classes of children. I had a fantastic time. The children all enjoyed my readings. I got great feedback from libraries and teachers and have been asked back. I brought a miniature beehive, sunflowers, foxgloves, beekeepers suit and I spoke to the children about the flowers and the bee and how important the bee is to everyone. The children were fantastic and asked lots of interesting questions. My thanks to Niamh Baldwin for her help.
