From Kids’ Programme to
The National Children’s Literary Festival 2014
This is the Writers’Week Children’s Fancy Dress Parade in 1991. Mary Robinson performed the official opening of Listowel Writers’ Week and the theme of the parade was Mná na hEireann.
That was then; this is now.
The Children’s programme at Writers Week has grown and matured into The National Children’s Literary Festival.
A programme of readings, workshops, Treasure Hunt, Teddy Bear’s Picnic, Baby Boogie, Puppet Show, Science Experiments and so much more is on offer.
Just one of the many exciting events is taking place in Craftshop na Méar on Saturday morning May 31st. at 11.30 a.m.
Sarah Murphy is a Ballina born, Cork based teacher and art therapist. She has just written her first book, What if?
The premise behind What if? is that it provides a fun way for a parent to introduce personal safety topics to young children.
The workshop is for parents and children and aims at helping them explore topics like
What if a stranger offers me sweets?
What if my ball ran on to the road?
The workshop is free but booking is necessary as places are limited. Ring Nuala on 068 21074.
