Inis magazine: issue 27, spring 2009
Inis is the magazine of Children's Books Ireland. Within these pages you will find features and articles on Irish and international children's books as well as in-depth reviews of new titles for children and teenagers. With its range of expert contributors, this is a key resource for teachers, writers, illustrators, librarians, parents/guardians and everyone interested in children's books.
"What is the norm and 'right' for one person or community often can seem alien and abnormal from another's perspective. - The transcendent power of narrative offers insights into worlds and experiences which can both contest and confirm the values of individuals and societies."
