Mission Statement
Children’s Books Ireland exists to inspire a love of reading in children and young people. Our vision is simple: Every child a reader. We champion every child’s right to excellent books and live literature events, inform adults who influence children’s reading and support children’s authors and illustrators who make that goal possible. Our work benefits children and young people, parents and carers, teachers, librarians, academics, artists, booksellers from all over the island of Ireland.
About This Cause
Reading has the power to change lives. A robust body of evidence paints a vivid picture of what reading can do for a child or young person: reading for pleasure improves literacy, numeracy and builds vocabulary in young children. Reading has been shown to build empathy, and improves mental wellbeing: children who enjoy reading are three times more likely to have good mental wellbeing than children who don’t. Reading is more important for children’s cognitive development than their parents’ level of education and is a more powerful factor in life achievement than socio-economic background. According to the OECD, finding ways to engage students in reading may be one of the most effective ways to leverage social change. What all this tells us is that Children’s Books Ireland can make a difference, and that by working to ensure that every child has a chance to develop a love of reading, we can improve the lives of children and young people all over the island of Ireland. We want young readers to feel the joy and excitement of finding a book that speaks to them – whether it reflects their own reality or allows them to travel through time and space to see the world through someone else’s eyes. We want to celebrate reading for the love of it in all its forms, from verse novels to non-fiction, fantasy to poetry and picture-books in Irish and English.
