Building Communities reading guide
A reading list for ages 0–12, designed to inspire building the homes, places and communities of tomorrow.
This latest edition of the Building Communities reading guide was inspired by Cairn’s, Hampden Hill a development of thoughtfully designed built family homes located in Donabate, along the Dublin coastline.
Cairn and Children’s Books Ireland have collaborated on a reading list of thirty-two titles aimed at engaging young people in the local area to connect with their surroundings and help to create a welcoming neighbourhood for all.
