Opportunity for Schools: Cork Children’s Book Festival invites primary schools to meet The Brothers McLeod


Cork County Council Children’s Book Festival

Date: 7 October 2024

Cork County Council are delighted to announce a free online event for primary schools as part of the Cork Children’s Book Festival. Pupils ages 8 to 10 years are invited to join The Brothers McLeod, the award winning, sibling duo creators of the Knight Sir Louis series.

This online event is free and will take place at 11am on Monday 7th October on Zoom. There will be multiple schools in attendance. There will be an opportunity for pupils to ask Greg and Myles McLeod questions.

BAFTA winning brothers, Greg and Myles McLeod are the illustrator and author of the Knight Sir Louis series.

Greg has worked on Shaun the Sheep for Aardman Animations. Myles has written for TV shows like Hey Duggee. Together they’ve produced animations for Disney, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the BBC.

The first Knight Sir Louis book was written for Greg’s son… Louis! The books can be read in any order and are perfect Reading for Pleasure stories.

Cork Children’s Book Festival are delighted to have secured a visit by Myles and Greg who will be talking to the children to provide inspiration for their own writing and also enthusing them about the joy of reading. This will support the literacy work that you do in schools and we hope it will prove a stimulating experience for your pupils.
