Michael McCarthy Author Visit

Date: 26th Feb 2026 @ 1:03pm

We had a really exciting visit from the author Michael McCarthy and his father Brian today. It was an extremely inspiring talk, as Michael has several learning difficulties and is registered blind. From a young age,  he was determined to become an author and with the help of several others this dream came true. He has published 9 books in total and Red Squirrel class were very lucky to receive a copy each of his newest book "All Aboard." I have attached the link below if anyone would like to read further about Michael's story. He really is an incredible man and we enjoyed reading one of the short stories from his book.
