The horse, the stars, and the road

Book
A celebration of Irish Traveller identity. All the children at school have to bring something from home to show the class. Sonny doesn't know what to bring - will the other children laugh at him if he brings in a horseshoe? When Uncle Jim takes Sonny on a trip in his wagon, he tells Sonny stories around the campfire. He shows him how he works metal in the traditional way and takes him to a horse fair. Watching Jim, Sonny starts to feel better about where he comes from. Now he can't wait to tell everyone at school all about being an Irish Traveller, and to share their rich and distinctive cultural history and traditions.
