On March 17, everyone is Irish and welcome to join the parades, see the Chicago River dyed green, and avoid leprechaun pinches by keeping the shamrocks handy! I think the real joy is seeing the color green everywhere in a world of gray slush and skies!

Robin Currie spent her library career in the children’s department, where she could baa, moo, and honk without getting shushed. Her writing engages children not only in noisemaking but jumping, waving, and face making. So do her sermons.
Despite her incessant need to wiggle, Robin earned a Master’s Degree in Library Science and worked in public libraries before answering the call to seminary. She holds a Master’s of Divinity and Doctorate of Preaching, and remains active in area churches. She writes stories to read and read again!
