Crow's Books Cá Cá Cá

Crow's Books Cá Cá Cá is a sensory storytelling experience for early years at Draíocht in Dublin on 28 and 29 October 2026. Shows run at 10:30 for ages 3 to 5 and at 12:30 for ages 6 to 8. Artist Paula Mongey and harpist Mary Louise O'Donnell created it, rooted in Irish folklore, and the stories are felt, seen and heard through live harp music, shadow play and movement. Children mix their own natural inks and make their own Crow's Book, so they are invited to come dressed for the occasion. Each show lasts approximately 45 minutes and takes 10 children plus 1 adult each. Tickets cost €5 for children, and adults go free. The show takes place in the Draíocht Studio. The title comes from a piece of folklore Paula Mongey grew up with in Co Louth, the belief that pine cones are the books of crows. The project was developed as part of Creative Ireland and South Dublin County Council's Schools Cultural Award 2025–2026 with twelve Transition Year students at Libermann Spiritan School. It is supported by Fingal County Council.
