Festivals and Saint’s Days offer us the opportunity to mark the turning of the seasons and to connect with our children. I hope this little story for Saint Patrick’s Day makes you smile. It’s a fun one to tell.
The tradition of telling tales and sharing stories has been passed down through generations from people the world over.
