Patrick And The President

From foremost radio and television broadcaster Ryan Tubridy and Kate Greenaway Medal-winner P.J. Lynch comes a picture book about President John F. Kennedys return to his ancestral home in Ireland. When the much-loved President visited Ireland in 1963 he described it as the best four days of his life and for a generation of Irish people it was a trip they never forgot. In this warmly told big-hearted picture book Ryan captures the fevered excitement in the build-up to JFKs visit - all evoked through the eyes of a young boy called Patrick who wants to know more than anything what it would feel like to shake the Presidents hand.
