(4) K-3 Illustrated by P. J. Lynch. This historical-fiction picture book centers on young Patrick anticipating President Kennedy's visit to Ireland in June, 1963. Via wordy, exaggerated narration, readers follow Patrick as he participates in two welcoming receptions and realizes his dream of shaking the president's hand. Lynch's nostalgic watercolor illustrations focus on body language and facial expressions. A day-by-day account of the real-life visit, with archival photographs, is appended.
