Little Irish Heroes Storytelling and Craft Session

Calling all 4-8 year olds, why not join New Ross Library for our Little Irish History Heroes Storytelling and Craft session with Irish author Niamh Donnellan.

Niamh will bring her stories to life by reading from one of her books using fun props like St. Brigid’s cloak, a Viking helmet and Grace O’Malley’s spyglass.

After the story, children will make their own hero's crown and can use special character ink stamps on their finished artwork with characters from the book.

Little Irish History Heroes is a gentle, fun introduction to Irish history. Meet the giant Fionn Mac Cumhaill who built a causeway to Scotland and tricked his rival Benandonner; bold Grace O’Malley and her pirate crew at sea; great high king Brian Boru battling the Viking hordes; kind St Brigid and her legendary cloak; and the tale of young Cú Chulainn, the ‘hound of Ulster’, who defeated a wolfhound with a sliotar.
