Book 1: The Adventures of Gráinne Bear - The Discovery

Meet Gráinne Bea. the secretly-living, big-hearted Newport bear who has been hiding in Princess Grace Park for generations… until one unforgettable day changes everything.

The Discovery introduces children to Gráinne Bear and her family, whose ancestors were rescued long ago by the legendary Pirate Queen, Granuaile. After years of living quietly beneath the trees beside Clew Bay, the Bears are suddenly spotted by humans — and life in the park is never quite the same again.

Filled with warmth, gentle humour and pure magic, this charming tale brings young readers into a whimsical world where Irish history, Mayo landscapes and lovable teddy bears come together.

Children will adore meeting the whole Bear clan as they navigate excitement, curiosity and community for the very first time.

Ideal for bedtime reading, classroom story time, or gifting to little ones who love adventure, kindness and a sprinkle of Irish folklore.
