Today is Monday in Louisiana Book

Based on a song by Johnette Downing, Today is Monday In Louisiana that takes children through a culinary calendar, noting a meal a day that represents Cajun, Creole, African and French foods from Louisiana.

On Monday, there are red beans to eat, and on Tuesday, po' boys and on it goes throughout the week, each day bringing a unique and tasty Louisiana dish to the table. Based on a song by New Orleans singer/songwriter Johnette Downing, Today Is Monday in Louisiana offers the best of Cajun, Creole, African, and French foods.

The folksy cut-paper collage illustrations by Deborah Ousley Kadair Thomas are a perfect compliment to the text. Thomas and Downing collaborated on six books. This first in their four book Monday series is in its sixth printing as of December 2017..
