Inis magazine: issue 50, April 2017
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.
"As Children’s Books Ireland celebrates twenty years, and Inis celebrates its fiftieth issue, we are looking not only at the history of our organisation but at the broader evolution of children’s literature over the past two decades. While we talk about the publishing industry and the literature sector, we find ourselves referring to the children’s book community."
