Author Julie Patterson comes to visit!

23rd Jan 2026

We were delighted to welcome Sligo author Julie Patterson to our school this week.
She read her amazing children’s book called ‘Willow Wonders’ to Junior Infants, Senior Infants and First Class. ❀️
The children loved the story and got to ask Julie lots of questions about how she wrote the story, her inspiration and how she illustrated the beautiful pictures. 🎨 
We loved learning about the characters and the process of writing a book. 
We put on our wonder faces and used our imaginations throughout the story. 
A big thank you to Julie for coming to see us and Willow too! 🌈 
Look out for ‘Willow Wonders’ in Liber and Easons bookshops. πŸ“–
