Jaime wants to march in the St. Patrick's Day parade, past Barney the Baker, up Acorn Hill, past the 'Half-Way-Up Sweetshop' and all the way to the green fields up the hill, but his brothers say he's too small. So before everyone elseis awake, he makes his trek up, meeting neighbors and friends along the way as he carries the Irish flag and flute. Wonderfully illustrated by Jan Brett, the villages and fields of Ireland are captured in her two-tone pictures. A loving look at a young boy's St. Patrick's Day experience.
