This beautifully illustrated collection of simple and also more complex Irish poetry for children and young adults explores multiple topics – from animals, seasons, celebrations and daily incidents to myth and legends. Offering a poetic variety from more than 100 Irish poets, this collection takes its readers to an enchanted world. “The Great Blue Whale” by Kerry Hardie for example follows the biggest creature of the sea, which “roves through watery groves” and “sings like a bird without wings.”
