Saint Mary's National School, Dublin

A Visit From Author Paddy Donnelly 🦤

11th Mar 2026

As part of our World Book Day celebrations, 1st Class enjoyed a wonderful visit from award-winning author and illustrator Paddy Donnelly.

Paddy read two of his books, The Upside Down Lighthouse and Naughty, which the children loved. He also led a fun drawing art activity and signed copies of his books for the class.

A big thank you to Paddy for visiting our school!
