The ‘Our National Anthem’ book is a 100% Irish made, inclusive and printed keepsake book which aims to teach both children and parents the Irish National Anthem for life, and it’s the perfect educational Christmas gift – stocking filler for both children and adults. It teaches adults and children Amhrán na bhFiann in easy phonetics, so any parent from any background can teach themselves and their child to allow them to join in on matches and cultural activities.
We are reminded of the very pertinent lines:
“Some have come from a land beyond the wave. Sworn to be free. No more our ancient sireland shall shelter the despot or the slave,”
The book includes a phonetic (along with English and Irish) version of Amhrán na bhFiann, which makes it easy to learn the Irish words and is particularly helpful for non-Irish speakers of all backgrounds.
The book explains the origins of the Irish national anthem in a gentle manner along with interesting illustrated historical stories, a quiz and a workbook section to encourage children to learn their national anthem.
The book is tailored to 2nd to 5th class children with stories about Ireland, along with inclusive themes to ensure all Irish children are included in learning about their national anthem.
