One of our publishers from Dublin; The O'Brien Press, published a simply stunning book a few months ago called the Story of Ireland. It is a children's book that covers an astonishing 9,000 years of Irish history!
The reason that I mention it, is because lately, my hopes for this book came true. It has been nominated for the Irish Children's Book of the Year Award, from the Irish Book Awards hosted yearly in Dublin!
When I was back in Dublin, and had my first chance to hold the new title, I just fell in love with it, and knew it was going to do spectacularly well. It gives children so much to learn, and yet they'll love every minute of it. Who am I kidding? I loved every minute of it too! Well I'm delighted that we now stock this book on our site (www.irishbook.com), and welcome, nay, encourage anyone who would like to teach their children history to come and check it out.
