Ireland is full of adventures! Fun and excitement wait around every corner – in the city, in the countryside, and over the mountains. Surf an Atlantic wave, go horse-trekking through the wilderness or dance to Irish music. Go whale watching, see the Northern Lights or travel by hot air balloon. There’s a whole island to explore!
Experience and explore the island of Ireland in this beautifully illustrated and vibrant picture book.
Adventures for the whole family, all around Ireland.
Jennifer Farley is an author and illustrator from Dublin. Her artwork is bright, colourful and a little bit humourous. Jennifer has illustrated several books for other authors, and has written and illustrated three books herself, including Island of Adventures, and her latest book, Scout's Best Day Ever.
In 2019, she illustrated Shooting For The Stars, written by Dr. Norah Patten, which won an An Post Irish Book Award.
Jennifer's latest book is Scout's Best Day Ever. Scout (the dog) promises to send cat a postcard from every place he visits on his travels around Ireland. But which will be the BEST. DAY. EVER?
Having left the bright lights of the city, Jennifer now lives in rural Ireland with her husband and their two dogs.
with a nod to our native wildlife and lots of fun facts, illustrated throughout in vibrant and varied colour. Whether this summer holds a road trip or not, we can all have a vicarious holiday with this brilliant book in hand
