Goodnight to da Parish

$16.95

Cornell P. Landry loves writing about Louisiana! The author of the widely popular Goodnight NOLA has written an authentic tribute to St. Bernard Parish that highlights the familiar aspects and attributes of this unique segment of the Louisiana landscape. Written in the vernacular, this clever rhyming ode is an entertaining read-aloud experience for all ages. Illustrated in child-like swaths of color by St. Bernard Parish native Victoria Wisinski, this bedtime story takes readers from the map of "da Parish" to Rocky & Carlo's, Delacroix, and even "da places dat's no longer dere" including Bubba John's, Village Square, Penny Lanes, and St. Mark's Fair. Much as the original that inspired the format, Landry and Wisinski give a loving nod to the sights and sounds as they say "Goodnight to da Parish."

She meets Champ, who turns out to be a very kid-friendly monster--inviting the girl to sit on his head and ride with him through the Vermont countryside. Together, these unlikely friends dash past farms and mills and over covered bridges, meet some cows, eat some maple syrup-covered cheese, and eventually return to the girl's favorite maple tree. The charming story ends as it began: If you come to Vermont / Near a lake called Champlain, / And you cut through the woods / On an old country lane, There's a chance you will see / My friend Champ and me / Playing happy and free / By the old maple tree.

They played all night and weren't done, 'Til morning came and they raised the sun. But one day the music stopped and the great New Orleans lost its voice. Through months of darkness and sadness the people wished that things were like before.

Children and parents alike will love this story about the healing power of music.
