Irish nursery rhymes and lullabies
Sound books that play music and spoken Irish
Beautiful illustrations that are engaging and culturally rich
Durable, hardback formats ideal for play, bedtime, or learning
Whether you’re in the U.S., Australia, Singapore, or anywhere else, these Irish books are easy to post, affordable, and deeply personal.
Irish Books for Expats and Families with Irish Roots
Many of our customers have Irish roots and are raising bilingual or multilingual children. They tell us that hearing Irish songs again — often from their own childhoods — brings a sense of home and joy. With no need for prior language knowledge, these sound books make it easy for parents, grandparents, and teachers abroad to:
Introduce Irish to their children
Rekindle their own grá for Gaeilge
Incorporate Irish into storytime or playtime
Stories from Our Global Irish Community
Eva – Irish Mum in Singapore and California
“I received one of the books as a gift when my first child was born in Singapore. I loved having something Irish to share with my new baby, even on the other side of the world. Now I’ve bought more for friends and my own family.”
Loreto – Grandmother in Madrid
“My grandchildren in Madrid love the songs — they sing phonetically with the voices in the books. It brings me so much joy to hear the same Irish school songs from my own childhood in their little voices.”
Dearbhla – Irish Primary Teacher in Bangkok
“As a music teacher, these books are perfect for introducing my Thai and international students to Irish music, instruments, and language. It’s a classroom resource that connects my upbringing with their learning.”
