Illustrated by
Tom Curry.
In the St. Patrick's Day contest with rival burg Tralah, young Fiona Riley's idea to paint the town green gives the town of Tralee hope for a win. When Tralee stops painting to help a red-bearded little man in green, it looks like they've sacrificed their chance to win. This folk-like tale of kindness rewarded features a winning heroine and lots of atmosphere in the rich illustrations.
