Macnas At School

You can help Callie hold up the sky! 

Once you have read the story, we would love for you to create your own güiro, and bring it to the parade, calling Callie’s family and friends to return to Ireland. A güiro is a percussion instrument, or an instrument that produces sound when it’s struck. They are an easy instrument to make at home and school from recycled materials!
