Children's Book about Ireland: Amazing Journey to Ireland

Sweet Irish heritage book for the Irish expats' communities living abroad, for any Irish family raising children abroad, or at least one Irish parent in a multi-cultural family living in a foreign country.

Kids are impacted by their home-environment, which consists of various cultural and social identities. Understanding your Irish roots and having a sense of belonging is challenging for them. The love for your cultural heritage is not something that they inherit when born; it has to be nurtured from an early age.

If you are an Irish expat parent or grandparent and find it difficult to share or start a discussion about your roots and heritage – you are not alone!

You want to make sure that your child gets to know who they are and to whom and what they belong. You want them to experience and understand Irish tradition. You want to share all those beautiful customs which bring back so many unique memories to you. Are you struggling to find modern Irish children’s stories that do that? Do you struggle to find relevant kids' books to read together and enjoy with your children?

This personalized book Ireland will push you gently into discovering even more themes once the reading is finished. For example, cooking a typical meal together, learning how to master steps for an Irish folk dance or organising a children’s party for your Irish child’s roots; there, they can share the many learnings and personal stories about Éire with the friends and the community around their home. And why not, also share these unique details with your partner, if he or she has a different nationality.

Now, for the grandparents out there who have Irish grandchildren living abroad: kids can feel confused concerning who they are, and we need to understand that and empathise with those feelings. For example, this can happen when they look forward to travelling to get to see you, while they will experience sorrow to leave a familiar place which is their current home and the familiar faces of neighbours and friends they know. Your Journey to Ireland can make for a remarkable present for grandchildren who live far away. Your grandchild also recognises the book as “my world book” and will attach more naturally and more profoundly with Ireland, the Ireland tradition, heritage.

And when the distance is too big for frequent travels, this personalized children's book keeps the little ones connected and curious to engage with you on a deeper level.

As soon as they are born, children need adults and a safe and nurturing environment. As they develop from babies into toddlers and preschoolers, their sense of belonging and roots are being built. It is such an essential part of their future lives, which will come with them to support them later if done right. For multi-cultural families or expat families living abroad with their kids, constructing the roots and understanding the complexity of two or more cultures' foundation is essential to be handled carefully.

We encourage Irish parents living abroad, grandparents, or other caretakers to support that process, open discussion, encourage questions, and share. In the end, we all hope for the best for the little ones: a strong identity, a sense of belonging, a sense of exploration and openness to others and a fearlessness driven by passion and joy.
