"Pass" a good time in Acadiana in this tour of Cajun country and
culture! The sights, sounds, and smells of all things Cajun two-step off
the page, introduced letter by letter in alphabetical order. From the
alligators in the bayou to the stars of the zydeco stage, the food,
music, literature, and language unique to the people of southern
Louisiana are delightfully rhymed and beautifully illustrated. From the
smallest details of daily life to the fantastical "fifolet" of Cajun
folklore, the spirit and the spice of Cajun country infuse these pages.
Author Rickey Pittman includes maps of Acadiana, a graph showing the
concentration of Cajun speakers by parish, and a glossary of terms. On
each page, artist Alexis Braud hides a pelican just waiting to be found
by emerging readers.
