A World of Our Own
Written and illustrated by children from St Francis Senior National School, Priorswood, Coolock, County Dublin.
In A World of Our Own, Irish, Traveller, Nigerian and Vietnamese children living in Dublin worked together to articulate their vision of a different world.
Through play, performance and creative writing, the objective of the book is to inspire others to explore their own personal aspirations and hopes for the future and to believe that they have the capacity to make changes in their lives and to realise them. It is also a collection of prose, poetry and artwork we hope everyone can enjoy.
"If I was an alien coming to earth for the first time, I’d run away from all the Coolockers. They don’t speak my language."

"Floating and flying out in space...stars were falling down and turning into flowers."
