Visit to the Birthplace of The Making of Mollie

Hi, my name is Olivia and I'm 8 years old. Today, I want to tell you about my recent visit to the birthplace of Anna Carey. She is one of my favorite authors, and I was super excited to go to her birthplace!

We traveled to Dublin, which is the capital city of Ireland. Anna Carey was born in Dublin, so that's where we went. Dublin is a really cool city with lots of things to see and do.

When we arrived in Dublin, the first thing we did was visit the birthplace of Anna Carey. It's a small and cozy house located in the heart of the city. I imagined what it must have been like for Anna to grow up there. It was like stepping into the pages of her books!

After visiting Anna Carey's birthplace, we went to a famous tourist attraction called Dublin Castle. It's a huge castle with beautiful gardens and lots of history. I felt like a princess exploring the castle grounds!
