I Am the Wind: Irish Poems for Children Everywhere
I am thrilled that I Am the Wind: Irish Poems for Children Everywhere won the Irish Children’s Book of the Year (Senior) 2023!
And it was on RTE’s Toy Show!
I edited it with award-winning Sarah Webb and it you will find our favourite Irish poems. We included poems from the earliest times to contemporary and diverse voices, with lots of well-loved poems and some overlooked gems.
Illustrated by the brilliant Aswin Chacko and published by Little Island, it is a beautifully produced hardback.
“One of Ireland’s best poets for children”
