Words by Water is delighted to work with one of our local primary schools again this year.

Shane Hegarty is a children’s books author from Skerries. His bestselling book series, Darkmouth, has been translated into a dozen languages. His book, Boot, was the Dublin UNESCO City of Literature City Read for 2020 and his most recent series is the prize-winning The Shop of Impossible Ice Creams. His first picture book, Dexter Lost His Boo-Woo, (with illustrator Ben Mantle) was published in 2024. His events are fun-filled, interactive talks about ideas – where he finds his and where the children can find theirs.
