Does your child love books? Then Read All Over is just for them. This is their chance to see the face and hear the voice behind their favourite books, as well-known Irish authors read from their work and invite children to find out more about them and the characters they create. As illustration adds the colour to many children's books we will present two workshops where children can explore how to bring stories to life through illustration.
Note to Parents:
» For parents of younger children, why not attend our special parent’s workshop with Sarah Webb while your child is at a reading with Brianóg Brady Dawson or Joe O’Brien. This session offers you guidance on what books to buy for your children.
