Something for every bookworm: Top 50 children's books of the yearFrom all the books for children and teenagers I've read this year, I've selected my 50 favourites, titles I think will capture the imagination of any young reader. If you're looking for a personal recommendation, do look out for #bookelves18 on social media, a promotion run by a team of Irish children's book experts dedicated to matching children and teens with the right book. The stylish illustrations in rich shades of brown, green and blue are perfect for very young children. It's one of the most beautifully designed books for this age-group I've ever seen, Child's illustrations sing, and hats off to David Mackintosh, the book's Belfast-born designer. Her latest book, 'Blazing a Trail: Irish Women Who Changed the World', illustrated by Lauren O'Neill, this week won the Children's Book of the Year (Senior) at the An Post Irish Book Awards.
