It's day 12 of #DollyDowsieChristmas and Futa Fata is delighted to team up with Dolly Dowsie this Christmas to give followers the chance to win a bundle of our books. Included are board books for toddlers, picture books for slightly older children and our award-winning, best-selling Bliain na nAmhrán, a book and CD combo that will entertain both the young and the young at heart! Nollaig Shona!

Baba & Jeaic – Am Folcadáin (Bath Time) & Éadaí Deasa (Lovely Clothes)
Our popular board book series, Baba agus Jeaic, brings children through everyday routines such as bath time and getting dressed. Vibrantly illustrated these cute characters are sure to keep little ones mesmerised. 

Dainín – Cloisin Rud Éigin! (I hear Something!) & Cá bhfuil Téidí? (Where is Teddy?)

The lovable little tiger Dainín brings the reader on a little journey of discovery in both of these gorgeous board books. Simple but engaging stories with beautiful illustrations.
 

Babaí Cathal – Am dul a luí (Time for bed)
A translation of the French-Canadian series, Caillou, “Cathal – Am dul a luí” is the latest addition to the series’ of Gaeilge editions available from Futa Fata. An engaging board book with fun flaps that reveal both the expected and the unexpected, this book will help get small children embrace their own nightly routines!


Beag Bídeach (Teeny Tiny)
Nína loves her little brother Jimí, but sometimes little brothers can be annoying. Nína wants to be tiny so she can go and live with her doll friends. Wouldn’t life in a doll’s house, with no Jimí, be wonderful?! Beag Bídeach is written by Sadhbh Devlin and illustrated by Róisín Hahessy.

Don’t go to School!
It’s not often we publish English editions of our books but demand for this heart-warming tale was so big, we gave in! Don’t go to School! is a quirky and funny role reversal story of the first day of school. Little Benno is uber excited for his big day, but Mammy Bear is having a little trouble letting go. Written by Máire Zepf and illustrated by Tarsila Krüse. Also available as Gaeilge, Ná Gabh ar Scoil!

Bliain na nAmhrán (The Year of Song)
Bliain na nAmhrán is a must for any child’s library. A CD and Book combo with fully illustrated songs based on the four seasons. The accompanying CD features vocals performed by composer, Tadhg Mac Dhonnagáin along with Caitlín Ní Chualáin, plus a choir of school children from Connemara. A magical book, Bliain na nAmhrán won a Children’s Books Ireland – Judges Honor Award 2017 and most recently (October 2018!) won Gradam Réics Carló - Children’s Book Of the Year Award for Irish Language books.

  2. I'm a supply teacher in Belfast (nursery and primary) and I grew up in England and have no Irish. I've been trying to learn using an app on my ipad! These books would help :-)

  3. I took one semester of Irish at uni but sadly can barely remember anything... I hope I'll get the chance to continue studying on my own when I feel somewhat less depressed than I do at the moment.

  10. Yes, my original degree was German and Irish. I love languages. I'm now a primary school teacher so use Irish regularly although between pregnancies and career break I've been oyo of the class for a while. I speak as Gaeilge regularly with my little people at home. My eldest started school this year and is really loving Irish.
