Chloe’s inspirational book a sellout

A six-year-old girl grabbed all the headlines at Listowel Writers’ Week in Co Kerry yesterday when a limited edition of her debut book sold out in minutes.

Chloe O’Sullivan was born with spina bifida and a casual comment from a classmate, who asked her why she was so different, provided the inspiration for her work.

Chloe, from Farranfore, Co Kerry, joined forces with her dad, Con, and within two months they had penned a compelling story, complete with colourful illustrations.
