I'm like a kid before Christmas waiting to join the #WholeWildWorld Bus Tour next week. I'll be on the bus, gigging (and giggling, I expect) my wee heart out in schools, arts centres, bookshops, you name it, joining the tour in Belmullet and staying until Galway. Children's Books Ireland

I got my ticket to ride! Super-duper excited to be going on the #WholeWideWorld bus tour in a couple of weeks with Laureate na nÓg Patricia Forde & a whole bunch of kids' authors & illustrators. Míle buíochas as an ticéid Children's Books Ireland - beidh an craic as pabhar! 😁🚍📚

The well known and loved song Mná na hÉireann (Women of Ireland) often trotted out at events to celebrate women is lyrically the opposite of celebratory - mocking and jeering women, with some explicit lines.
