Waterstones will be arranging a workshop for which they have invited Amanda Kehoe, the author of Children’s book TJ and his Wheelable Chair. She will be attending the event and interacting with the audience. It will be a great opportunity for meeting the author in person and gaining insight about the inspiration of writing and getting the book published. TJ and his Wheelable Chair is an interesting book for children to learn about a boy who cannot walk or talk but does not lets his disability become a barrier in enjoying his life to the fullest. He is able to interact with people, make new friends and enjoys playing with his friends. Amanda was born in Ballinteer and studied at Dublin Business school. She worked in Marketing for several years and was also employed as a P.A. to the Chairman at Nissan Ireland. She is also a qualified Montessori Teacher and SNA. In 2009, her ten-month-old son Tadhg was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and Global Developmental Delay, so she gave up work to take care of him. Now she lives in Newbridge with her husband and three children.
