Welcome to the New Irish Books Showcase! We are delighted to introduce you to some wonderful new Irish children’s books for readers of age 8 to 12+ years.
Join us for an evening of back-to-back presentations from the creatives behind some exciting new children’s books published in 2021. There will be a mix of books, from debut authors, to award-winning writers. Each author will have four minutes to tell you all about their book; the story, their publication journey, and maybe even some sneak peeks from between the covers!
We invite parents, guardians, teachers, librarians, booksellers, aspiring writers/illustrators and all-round children’s books enthusiasts to attend this exciting event. The books showcased will be suitable for readers ages 8 to 12+ years old.

• Erika McCann (Tabitha Plimtock and the Edge of the World)
