Liam Kelly: Every Child Deserves a Story

My Debut Performance at the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature
📅 Date: Saturday, 24 January
⏰ Time: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
📍 Location: InterContinental Dubai Festival City
Since I began writing and raising awareness around children’s mental health, speaking about my books at this prestigious event has been a dream—and now it’s about to come true.
I can’t thank Austin Macauley Publishers UAE enough for their support in bringing my book to life and helping get it ready in time for this event.
Information from the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature website:
Join author and educator Liam Kelly, creator of William – The Story Written in My Head, for a heartfelt session exploring the power of representation in children’s books.
Drawing on his experiences with anxiety and his work in education, Liam shares how inclusive stories help children feel seen, build empathy, boost self-belief and self-confidence, and support emotional wellbeing.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain practical and helpful tips on how reading can nurture these qualities in children.
