Leona's Summer in Ireland

Do you want to join Leona on her many fun adventures in Ireland?

Leona is an Irish American girl who lives in America but loves traveling to Ireland for the summer. During this fun filled trip Leona will experience countless fun activities. Among these experiences are: flying on an airplane, collecting eggs on her Granny and Granda's farm, picking blackberries with her cousins, traveling to an Irish music competition called the Fleadh Cheoil, warm cuddles with her Granny at the fire, climbing a mountain and many other fun adventures.

Today is chilly, so Granny lights a fire, and we have tea and sweets. I love getting cozy with Granny. She always has the best treats. What are your favorite sweets?

Kristen decided to write a children's book after becoming inspired by her own experience growing up with a strong connection to two great nations, America and Ireland. Leona's Summer in Ireland is a beautiful story that incorporates both the exciting adventures a little girl can have while also navigating big feelings about having to say goodbye at the end of each trip to her beloved family abroad.

This book would be the perfect story to share during the St. Patrick's Day season as well as celebrating the month of March as Irish Heritage Month.
