Conceal and Reveal: Truth
and Lies in Children's Books is the title of the forthcoming CBI Conference to be held on Saturday 12 Sep
2015 from 10:00am to 5:00pm on Sunday Sep 13 2015. It is a great delight for me to be part of the New Voices Section where I will read from my first children's novel GOLD to be published by Little Island in 2016.
The CBI
Conference is a
weekend-long celebration of the very best in Irish and international children’s
books which will be located again at the Light House Cinema,
Smithfield. This annual event is a unique opportunity to critically reflect on
the impact, imagination and importance of books for young people. Anyone with
an interest in and a passion for children’s books is welcome to attend and
participate in what is always a lively and thought provoking event.

criticism, this relaxed and friendly event is an opportunity for teachers,
booksellers, librarians, academics, artists and other professionals – or anyone
else with a passion for children’s literature – to meet old favourites and
discover new voices.
