We were excited to host a special event for International Women’s Day today with KPMG and Children’s Books Ireland.
It was the launch of Children’s Books Ireland’s #BoldGirls initiative that celebrates strong women and girls in children’s books. Volunteers from KPMG came to read ‘The Princess in Black’ with groups of children from 2nd and 3rd Class. The children then took part in a Monster Doodle with illustrator, Niamh Sharkey.
We thank KPMG for their very kind donation of 100 books from the #BoldGirls reading guide. We can’t wait to read them!
Later in the morning, 3rd Class visited Easons Bookshop on O’Connell Street and met authors Sarah Crossan and Marita Conlon-McKenna!
