FROM SARAH:

A book that connects St. Patrick's Day with the Irish potato famine. Inspirational, and especially good for a wide age range.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

A family retells the story of the shillelagh that was whittled from a tree. During the Irish potato famine, Fergus and his family left for America. But first Fergus cut a branch from a blackthorn tree to take a piece of Ireland with him.
