Thanks to @PetOConnell for the great reviews of Irish children's books in @irishexaminer last weekend, inc The Last Boy by @Eve_Mc_Donnell I See the Moon by @sarahwebbishere and Paul Delaney. #DiscoverIrishKidsBooks
'The Last Boy' is at once a story of darkness and hope, as Brewster wishes upon each star that he will be the last climbing boy. @EveryWithWords @Eve_Mc_Donnell @OBrienPress @sarahwebbishere @scahill

Thank you to Dr Siobhán Morrissey for her important TED X talk which mentions the strength and diversity of Irish children's books and why they matter. She talks about the problems she has found in the books of Dahl and Blyton (racism and colonialism). #DiscoverIrishKidsBooks
My TedXGalway talk - "Blyton, Dahl, and Ireland: Our Choices of Children's Books" - is now on YouTube! (I left out an important bit of info at the start - I asked the Children's Studies students to include at least one Irish author in their lists)
