Ciara Ni Dhuinn is a native of Carlow who moved to the U.S. in 2004. She lives with her husband Kevin who is a photographer and her daughter Eliana. Ciara’s background is in graphic design and illustration, and is a graduate of design communication from WIT. This series of children’s books came about because Ciara wanted to teach her daughter Eliana the Irish language while also teaching her about her Irish heritage. Ciara’s hope is that these language learning books will help parents in Ireland and overseas to teach and encourage the use of the Irish language from an early age. Ciara is a strong supporter of encouraging the arts at an early age as well as lending her talents to non-profit work in her spare time.

Ciara landed on the shores of America in 2004 and made a home away from home in Warrenville, Illinois with her husband Kevin. After her daughter was born in 2006, Ciara a graphic designer and illustrator, began to look for children's Irish language learning books that included English translations so she could teach her daughter the Irish language while teaching her about her Irish heritage. After failing to find what she was looking for, Ciara decided to illustrate her own books the way she wanted them to be and called them "Elie's Books" after her daughter.
Not long after starting this journey she joined twitter and was stumbled upon by Eoin Purcell of Green Lamp Media In Ireland. Eoin a seasoned publishing professional reached out to Ciara and eventually sent her work to a few publishing houses in Ireland he thought would be interested in her books. Sure enough someone was, and the books were picked up, submitted to Foras Na Gaelige and approved for funding as multilingual Irish language learning books.
The books launched in Ireland during the bilingual festival in Carlow and were featured on The Late Late Toy Show by Ryan Tubridy.
