Thank you, Sarah, for sharing this! The main question I ask in the talk is: Why are we still reading 20th century, British children's books, like Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl, when we have exceptionally talented, contemporary, Irish and Irish-based authors writing brilliant children's fiction?
#TedX
Thank you to Dr Siobhán Morrissey for her TED X talk which mentions the strength and diversity of Irish children's books and why they matter.
She talks about the problems she has found in the books of Dahl and Blyton (racism and colonialism). #DiscoverIrishKidsBooks
