A song
about an Irish immigrant's experiences concentrates on a happy homecoming.
Pen and watercolor illustrations use swirling lines and mottled shades
to provide a sense of motion. A piano arrangement and guitar chords appear
on the endpapers, and an afterword tells about Irish immigrants and the
history of the song.
Activities
in this introduction to all things Irish allow children to learn about
a broad range of topics while making Celtic-style jewelry, laughing leprechauns,
ornaments, and more. Children will learn more about Ireland's past and
about life in Ireland today.
Recounts
St. Brendan's life and voyage to North America long before the Vikings
arrived. If you ask children in Ireland who really discovered America,
you may get this surprising answer: "St. Brendan, of course." He left Ireland
1,500 years ago in a leather boat to find paradise.
A children's
book with much wider appeal. Accented with charming, simple, cartoon-style
illustrations, the book tells the story of St. Patrick, including legends
and folklore about the saint along with his actual history. Although definitely
geared towards children, And God Blessed the Irish can teach even adults.
A touching,
intensely personal look at the Irish experience, in Ireland and in the
United States, during the decades immediately following the Great Famine
in Ireland, is told from the perspective of the three adult children of
the O'Driscoll family, in the third in a series that began with Under
the Hawthorn Tree.
Laurence
is a leprechaun who has been small for over a thousand years and is sick
of it! He wants to be tall until he meets Phoebe, a large girl who wants
to be small. When she invites him to live in her house, Laurence is delighted.
He starts wearing jeans and gets rid of his pointy hat. But there's one
thing about leprechauns that can't be changed-they're always up to mischief!
And when Laurence decides on a new career, that's when the fun really starts!

A haunting
Irish legend, believed by some to be the basis for King Lear. A king's
jealous wife puts a spell on his children, changing them into swan s, until
such time as the Man from the North and the Woman from the South--two mountain
peaks--are joined together.
When Gulliver is kidnapped
and force-fed by one of the Brobdingnag's pet monkeys, the prose is sufficiently
horrifying and nauseating without an actor's gloss. However, in more charming
moments, such as Gulliver piloting a tiny ship across a basin of water,
propelled by the giant children's breath, one wishes for just the slightest
trace of narrative awe to indicate that Gulliver doesn't travel this way
every day.
Just
a boy when he witnesses the horrors of invasion on his small clan in the
west of Ireland--an attack that leaves his mother and two of his brothers
dead--Brian Boru swears to one day put an end to his country's sufferings
by stopping the clan wars, uniting the people of Ireland, and halting forever
the threat of the Norsemen.
