There's 'How to Catch a Leprechaun'. Leprechauns are a big part of St Patrick's Day. In this story, kids try to catch a leprechaun.

The story of St Patrick himself can be a great children's story for this day. St Patrick was a missionary who brought Christianity to Ireland.

Along the way, he met a friendly rabbit who told him that the pot of gold was not just about the gold but also about the journey and the friends you make. Liam then realized that he had already found a great treasure in his new friend, the rabbit.
