Stories and Sport: A Winning Team! With Emma Larkin
Please note this is an event exclusively for Primary Schools.
Emma Larkin, creator of the Twin Power series and the Izzy’s Magical Adventures in Sport series, will talk about her unique inspiration for her stories and her love of reading and sport. In this lively and inspiring talk, Emma will share her passion for both reading and sport and explore how the two activities complement each other. Drawing on her popular Twin Power books, she’ll show how stories of teamwork, resilience, and imagination can empower young people both on the page and on the playing field.
Emma’s original inspiration to write her books was her grandmother, Maureen Hennebry, (née Cashman), who was on the Cork camogie team which won the All-Ireland Camogie Championship three times in row between 1939 and 1941. Emma hopes that the young people who read her books will be inspired to keep playing and reading and most importantly, to have fun in both of these pursuits.
Emma Larkin lives in Kerry in Ireland with her husband, four children and dog. Emma is the author of the “Twin Power” series for O’Brien Press and the “Izzy’s Magical Adventures in Sport Series”. The third Twin Power book in the series, ‘Féile, A Twin Power Adventure’, was published on 12th May 2025 Emma Larkin Books https://emmalarkinbooks.com/
