Laureate na nÓg | Siobhán Parkinson
Monday saw the announcement of Ireland’s first children’s laureate.
Nominations were open for writers/illustrators with a body of high quality children’s writing or illustration – who have also had a positive impact on readers as well as other writers and illustrators. (In other words… not just anybody.)
The inaugural award went to Siobhán Parkinson – a stallworth of Irish children’s books, advocay and general soap-boxery. And… well Siobhán says it all better in her own words in her own words.
