History for Children


I am passionate about bringing history to life for young learners through workshops and publications.

I contributed to the children’s encyclopedia, Big Ideas from History, published by The School of Life in 2022, and my first history book for children will be published in 2024 – watch this space for more details! 

I’m proud to be a Heritage in Schools specialist as part of the wonderful programme funded by the Heritage Council. I’ve delivered workshops for budding historians at Wainfest Children’s Arts and Books Festival with Donegal County Libraries.
