Jamie wants to walk in the St.Patricks Day parade but everyone tells him he is too small. He gets up early, puts on his mom's coat, dad's hat, takes his brother's flute and his dog and makes his way through town and up Acorn Hill. On discovering he has made it he goes back home. No one knows what he has done.
This is relatable for younger readers, because oftentimes, younger children are told by their parents they aren't yet old enough to do things.
Resentful at being excluded from marching in the local St. Patrick's Day parade, young Jamie Donovan awakens extra early on the big day and, together with his dog Nell, walks all the way to the top of Acorn Hill by himself. On his way he meets up with a number of people from his small Irish village. Having proved that he can do it, he heads home again, having left a little flag on the dancing stage to show he was there... A sweet holiday story about a young boy with a can-do spirit, St. Patrick's Day In the Morning was first published in 1980, and has a somewhat old-fashioned feeling to it. The Ireland depicted here, in both text and artwork, felt somewhat historical to me, rather than contemporary, which makes sense, as author Eve Bunting moved away from (Northern) Ireland in the 1950s, and illustrator Jan Brett is American. Leaving that aside - and it isn't necessarily a criticism - the story were was engaging, and will no doubt strike a chord with many young children, who will identify with Jamie's experience of being told he is too young for something. The artwork is cute, although not Brett's strongest. Recommended to anyone looking for solidly engaging stories about St. Patrick's Day for younger children.
This book is about a little boy in Ireland who wants to participate in the St. Patrick's Day parade but everyone around him believes he is too young. He wakes up early in the morning and walks the trail of the parade with his dog, to prove that he is big enough to join the parade. He arrives at the final parade site, the stage, and feels glorious. He then goes home to find that everyone is still asleep, but he is okay with that because he knows that he accomplished his goal.
