The land, history and customs of Ireland are presented in this program, along with the story of Irish immigration to America. Children learn to say a few words in Gaelic, the ancient Irish language, watch as boys and girls perform traditional Irish dances for a St. Patrick's Day parade, and learn to make a Celtic harp. They'll also enjoy an Irish folktale, The Legend of Knockmany, and sing a traditional Irish folk song called "Oro, Se Do."
