This story was written to give Louisiana children a reflection of their culture. Louisiana, Cajun culture is beautiful and unique. Cajun heritage is something children should know and be proud of. There is a lack of children’s literature that reflects authentic Cajun culture and this story was created to help fill that gap. Reading level is for children in Kindergarten through 3rd grade, but of course anyone can enjoy! The story is a romantic folktale, based on the legends of the Feu-Follet in the Louisiana swamps.
This is a student final project from EDCI 308, taught by Dr. Roxanne Bourque in Fall 2021.
