A captivating story which beautifully evokes a seminal moment in the life of JFK through the eyes of a young boy.
From foremost radio and television broadcaster, Ryan Tubridy, and Kate Greenaway Medal-winner P. J. Lynch, comes a picture book about President John F. Kennedy s 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 JFK s 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 President s hand... Rooted in historical fact, and marking the centenary of JFK s birth, this feast of a book offers readers a very pure and personal take on JFK s visit to County Wexford and includes a bibliography in the back matter.
