Wrapping nine for a nine year old - her first foray into #MG books, and I’ve picked some of my absolute favourites. Oh the places she will go, the *nine* lives she will live! 💫✨

Wishers & believers, this time every year our planet passes through a ring of dust left by a comet that orbits our sun every 33 yrs. Sometimes it brings a meteor shower, sometimes a storm. In 1833, the night sky was more white than black with 100,000 shooting stars each hour🧵1/2

What a p-p-perfect day spent with the Picker Pals of Butlersbridge NS in #Cavan today, home to one of the winners of the Picker Pals short story competition🏅Picker Pals is an important and fun litter-picking programme enjoyed by schools all over 🇮🇪 pickerpalsworld.org

I want to bottle this moment! I’m so grateful to the librarians who championed #TheChestnutRoaster & nominated it for a Carnegie Medal. I can’t tell you what this means. Thank you! 🙏 Congrats, everyone - winners, all! yotocarnegies.co.uk/nominations-... #YotoCarnegies24 #AuthorDream

Tomorrow, I begin edits on my something new 🙂💫

Today I visited #Cork’s Vibes & Scribes (what a bookshop!) for the first time, and followed it up with a delicious lunch in the English Market and a spot of Wonderlarking in Cork City Library. If you have a moment could you pinch me? Author days don’t get much better than this! 🙏💫
