ast Saturday 9 May, we had such a lovely time at Mitchelstown Library @corkcountycouncil ✨

The families enjoyed listening to the story about Han Gan, making paper horses, and learning how to write the traditional Han character 「馬」(horse).

Step into a world of imagination, art, and adventure this Saturday with a special bilingual storytelling session of The Magic Horse of Han Gan by Chen Jiang Hong.

Children wish for lots of things: a new doll, a Lego set, a pet dinosaur... Sometimes, their wishes can be wildly unrealistic. So, what happens when a child doesn't get exactly what they wish for?

Yesterday, we had a wonderful bilingual storytelling event for Lunar New Year! 🌙✨

A huge thank you to Cork City Library for having us and supporting this wonderful event!

Last Saturday at Cork City Library, the room was full of cheerful meowing as we shared the story 'Flow Flow Flow', a tale about a kitty’s adventure and its friendship with a tiger.

Join us online as we read a short story, where a cat encounters a trapped friend.

Unlike Mother's Day, Ireland and Hong Kong share the same Father's Day, on next Sunday, the 15th of June 2025! It is an opportunity for children young and old to express their love for their fathers through cakes, gifts and celebrations!

Although it is well past Mother's Day here in Ireland, in Hong Kong we would have just celebrated it last Sunday on the 11th of May 2025! Similar to in Ireland, people young and old in Hong Kong celebrate this holiday by giving handmade gifts to their mothers and enjoying delicious cakes together!

We celebrated love, creativity, and language through a bilingual story session in Cantonese and English.

“The tiger’s not in the zoo? It’s under a flyover?!”

Come uncover the mystery of the flyover tiger — and learn to write in Cantonese along the way!

To get everyone ready for the Global Cantonese Writing Initiative for Youth, we’re hosting a fun and interactive online workshop! Through the charming story The Tiger Under the Flyover, participants will explore the basics of writing in Cantonese. The session will be led by the book’s author, Peg Chiu, who’ll guide us with her engaging and creative teaching.

Yesterday, the sun was shining brightly. Yet, a small group of children gathered for Canto+Eng storytime in Cork City Library.

One of Hong Kong's most iconic transportation is the Peak Tram in Hong Kong Island, running for over 130 years! Although refurbished and upgraded many times, it still retains its historical style and charm. It is treasured by the Hong Kong people, not only for its cultural and heritage significance, but also for the scenic and breezy journey uphill to the Peak!

The Tiger Under the Flyover shares the fascinating history of Goose Neck Bridge and its transformation over time. The event includes reading the story using Jyutping (Cantonese romanisation) and making the paper tigers 🐯 together!

Join us online this Saturday for a Cantonese storytelling session where we explore the mysterious tale of "The Tiger Under the Flyover"!
