Children’s Storytelling Workshop with Author David Donohue

David is the best-selling author of Walter Speazlebud, Moon Man, and Alien Timebomb — imaginative stories loved by bookworms and reluctant readers alike. His energetic performances blend storytelling with wacky backwards spelling (and the occasional backwards version of Danny Boy!). He has wowed audiences across Ireland, the UK, and the USA in schools, libraries, and theatres.

David’s highly entertaining and high-octane performances combine storytelling with lots of wacky backwards spelling. And, if he’s in the mood, he may even sing a bar of Danny Boy, backwards!

David’s Irish appearances include:

• Kilkenny Arts Festival
• RTE Nationwide
• Baboro Childrens Festival
• Tubridy on RTE 2fm
