Debbie Thomas, author of the trilogy
Dead Hairy,
Jungle Tangle and
Monkie Business and the newly published
Class Act was back in Clare’s libraries this week to inspire young readers in
Kilmihil,
Kildysart,
Corofin and
Newmarket. Debbie was a delight to listen to and involved her audiences right throughout her presentations using practical exercises to show them how stories are created. She shared stories of past experiences and employments including working as a radio news presenter with the BBC to illustrate her path to becoming a writer of children’s books.
Included in feedback on the event from Kildysart Library, Branch Librarian Margaret Sheehan commented, “The pupils really enjoyed the event and promised to take on board Debbie’s advice of writing ideas down to turn into stories. All of Debbie’s books that I had in the library were borrowed by the classes attending on the day.”
