Come hear the story of the Salmon of Knowledge on the Nova Scotia Gaelic flag … also known as the tale of the great Gaelic hero Fionn MacCool and why he sucks his thumb!

Author Terri M. Roberts and Bradan Press publisher Emily McEwan will read this tale aloud, first in English and then in Gaelic. This ancient tale has been reimagined as a participation story, with actions corresponding to nine different words in the story. As the story is read aloud, everyone can listen for these special words and do the matching gestures together!


Terri and Emily will also share from the book about Nova Scotia’s Gaelic flag, and show Halifax artist Kyla Williams’ new black-and-white illustrations for the 2nd edition.


This is an all-ages event. All levels of Gaelic are welcome.
