We all know about Oscar Wilde, C.S. Lewis, John Boyne, Roddy Doyle and Eion Colfer, but there are many more. I'm sure I will have missed some, but wander around a library and look for these and you will have made a good start. Also dip into the website Discover Irish Kids Books.
If you don't use this now, come back in October when it is Irish Book Week.
Oliver Jeffers is Irish, but he was was born in Australia!
P.J.Lynch (Patrick James Lynch)
and if you haven't yet read any Bear and Rabbit books by the Irish musician and poet Julian Gough, or Dave Pigeon books which are illustrated by Irish-born Sheena Dempsey rush out and do it now!
