Inis magazine: issue 78, July 2026
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.
‘While much of Children’s Books Ireland’s work is focused here at home, a large chunk of what we do also reaches beyond the confines of our own borders. […] It is timely, then, that we would publish a celebratory edition of Inis which has a particular European focus throughout this issue’s features.’
