Louisiana

Slip down the bayous and back alleys of Louisiana history. Some stories speak of tragedy: the whispers of New Orleans vampires, the tortured souls haunting plantations, the horrors of the Thibodaux Massacre. But the twists and turns of Pelican State heritage offer their fair share of revelry as well. Sit on an abandoned dock in Lake Charles, visit the birthplace of Huey P. Long or take a guided tour of the historic French Quarter with our Louisiana history books. [View all Louisiana books]

Can you believe that the ghost of Marie Laveau--the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans--was once seen dancing on a tomb, with a snake wrapped around her? Pulled right from history, these ghostly tales will change the way you see the Big Easy, and have you sleeping with the light on!

Vinsantos Defonte, a prominent voice in the national LGBTQ community and founder of New Orleans Drag Workshop, provides the foreword. Wayne Phillips, curator of the Costumes and Textiles and the Carnival Collections of the Louisiana State Museum, details the history of drag and this very special community in New Orleans. Tooker, celebrated host of Louisiana Eats!, provides an epilogue illuminating her entrée and ongoing role in the Crescent City's drag queen world.

A percentage of the proceeds from the sale is dedicated to CrescentCare (NO/AIDS Task Force).

Angelo the alligator was different in every way. With eyes bright blue and skin snow white, he
loved to watch the butterflies and fireflies. One day he came upon a marsh filled with flowers
and wove some into a crown. What happens when he wears his beautiful new crown?
Artist and illustrator Shannon Kelley Atwater shares a sweet story of friendship and
community celebrating the differences that make individuals special and overcoming the
stereotypes that separate them. Her expressive illustrations capture the feelings of friendship, joy,
and--sometimes--alienation that children experience in a story that provides a valuable lesson
of acceptance. When the swamp friends unite in a procession that rejoices in the things that make
them unique, something truly magical occurs. Come along and join their parade!

Alligator Slim and his jazz band have played themselves out--so it's back to the swamp for Slim. His band has decided to take a break, enjoy time with family, and in one year meet again to make more movin', groovin' music. As Slim heads back to the big city, someone catches his ear. It's a croonin' baboon! Slim brings Baboon Crooner with him to meet his friends and join the band. When it's time for the band's first performance with their newest member, she's not what the audience expected! Will they accept Baboon and her oh-so-smooth croons?
