Synopsis
Jamie Donovan was the first one to awaken on St. Patrick's Day morning. Downstairs, lying on the table, were the green sashes everyone in the family would be wearing in the big St. Patrick's Day parade--everyone but Jamie, that is. "It's not fair, Nell," Jamie said to his sheepdog. "I want to walk in the parade too. They say I'm too small--that I couldn't get to the top of Acorn Hill. But what do they know?"

So Jamie took his mother's raincoat, his dad's black hat, his brother Sean's sash and his other brother Kevin's flute. With Nell trailing behind him, Jamie created his own St. Patrick's Day parade and proved to himself that he was big enough to climb to the top of Acorn Hill.

Eve Bunting's authentic portrayal of life in the Irish countryside on St. Patrick's Day is harmoniously complemented by Jan Brett's illustrations which bring the characters and the rugged countryside richly to life. EVE BUNTING was born in Ireland, and lived there for the first 30 years of her life. She now lives in Pasadena, California with her husband, three children and a dog. Ms. Bunting is the author of many books for children and the winner of the 1976 Golden Kite Award for fiction.
