Is scéalaí é Seosamh Ó Maolalaí. Seosamh Ó Maolalaí is a storyteller. Is breá leis scéalta a insint i mBéarla agus i nGaeilge. He loves to tell stories in English and in Irish. Seosamh’s story sessions are fun. There’s opportunities for the children to join in and take part and even tell a story or two. There’s songs and rhymes and jokes. Is cuid an-thábhachtach d’ár n-oidhreacht í an scéalaíocht. Bainimís súp as! Storytelling is a hugely important part or our heritage. Let’s enjoy it!

• "A wonderful event, catered for all ages. Simple easy listening & interaction with the four age groups. Excellent!" - St. Tiarnachs Primary School, Monaghan

• "Seosamh visited our school over two days to co-incide with World Book Day. His enthusiasm is infectious and the children look forward to his annual visit. He engages the children's attention and interest very naturally and they can recall his stories from previous years. Seosamh is a wonderful storyteller and in a world where so many children are so fixated by electronic devices, it is wonderfully refreshing to see them so enthralled by a real life storyteller!" - Clonburris NS, Dublin

• "Excellent all round." - Anon
