My Fabadoodle Doggies are a continuous source of joy to me.Cut-outs of my two pet ‘Lovies’ were dispatched to the West of Ireland last week to be with my daughter who was spending her first ever time away from home. They gave her love and smiles and that brought me Joy.
SCBWI Ireland: EAST Social Event.
A privilege for me to host my first event as the EAST COAST Social Liaison. It is a time of exceptional Irish talent in Children’s Literature so we have much to celebrate.
The great Oliver Jeffers said “It all starts with the pencil and imagination.”
Shortly after I became a new member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) I met the wonderful Colleen Cailin Jones, Ireland’s Regional Advisor. She has encouraged me to get involved and discover a network that supports and encourages anyone with an active interest in children’s literature from picture books to young adult novels.
