Róisín’s World Book Day 2026 promotion

Today is World Book Day – the parents of my young neighbour Róisín sent me these pictures before she left for St Joseph’s Primary School, Ballinrobe, this morning.

Who says you can’t put an old head on young shoulders?

Róisín, her brothers Matthew and James, and her parents Sean and Orla, were crucial members of the crack unit that organised the launch of my novel, On The Way Out, in Ballinrobe Library in November.

Here can hear the wonderful launch speech delivered by Declan Varley, the Ballinrobe/Galway author:

I hope the pupils in St Joseph’s – and schools everywhere – enjoy World Book Day and get to appreciate the magnificence of the written word.

Pictures used with approval of Róisín’s parents.
