Thankyou to our beautiful local animal farm owners Susan and Adrian for bringing your little menagerie to Dromkeen Storytime for local families. The children were so involved and loving the animals, we decided to save the story for next time., except for one little girl who very seriously asked Bernadette “When are you going to read a story?” Bernadette obliged with a private reading just for her 😍
