This year’s winning titles include a compelling story of friendship, compassion, and grief; a tale of navigating life through loss, gang violence and tragedy that leads to slam poetry; a classic quest story with a modern twist and the disappearance of a special dolphin. The judging panel read a record 158 titles from Irish-born or Ireland-based writers and illustrators, the biggest year so far in the history of the awards.
The KPMG Children’s Books Ireland Awards and Junior Juries programme are sponsored by KPMG and supported by the An Chomhairle Ealaíon and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
