Synopsis
This book is the story of a boy, a calf and one of the biggest football clubs in the world.
It is also a story of how one person can change many people’s lives.
All great journeys begin with a single step. As a boy, Brother Walfrid did not know he was starting a great journey when he sold a calf at County Sligo’s Ballymote Fair and took the boat to Scotland.
Every day, people are starting great journeys and they don’t even know it. They are just trying, like Walfrid, to make people’s lives better by helping others who are not as fortunate as them. Walfrid helped people and started one of the world’s most well-known football clubs.
Perhaps readers of Brother Walfrid’s story may start a great journey of their own one day?
Alison Healy is the great grandniece of Brother Walfrid Kerins and is a journalist and author. Her first children’s book How Billy Brown Saved the Queen was published by Little Island Books.
