Description

Howl at Halloween tells the story of a little girl called Áine, who
travels with her family from Dublin to celebrate the annual
Halloween Howl festival with her Granny in Kenmare, Co Kerry.
During the holiday they enjoy playing Halloween games,
tasting traditional Halloween food, having fun, and exploring
the autumnal beauty of the area. The story culminates with
everybody dressing up and participating in the local community’s
Halloween Howl parade.
‘Discussion prompts’, to encourage adult–child engagement
with the core themes of the book, are included.
The story supports the aims of the Primary School Curriculum
for this age group, with particular emphasis on appreciating
Irish culture and traditions, as well as fostering personal growth.
An Irish language version of Howl at Halloween is also
available.
