As part of the Children’s Book Festival, the children of 3rd, 4th, 5th
and 6th had the privilege of meeting with one of Ireland’s most famous
authors, Maurita Conlon McKenna. Maurita is widely known for her
trilogy, The Children of the Famine. Many of the children had read
Under the Hawthorn Tree and some even had the opportunity to get their
own copy of the book signed.
