It meant a lot to me to be able to read my book to the kids in Ballymena where I am from.
Thanks a lot to Victoria for organising and @waterstonesballymena
And thanks to everyone for coming and my mum @karen.sung.351 for helping facilitate 😄
There’s a few signed Moon Moon Can’t Sleep books in the Ballymena Waterstones too!

It’s so fantastic to be a part of something that is so needed in Northern Ireland. Every primary school should have its own library. It was an honour and a privilege to be at the flagship opening of the new library for pirmaries at Ballymacward School. A big thank you to Laura from the @literacy_trust for making this happening and having me and @clivemcf to come do story-time plus draw along and be a part of launching this new library. #nationalyearofreading2026 #goallin
