T-Boy of the Bayou
Lying on the grassy edge of the Louisiana bayou, T-Boy makes a wish to help his daddy. His daddy’s a shrimper, but the shrimp have disappeared. When a marsh heron offers to grant his wish, T-Boy discovers that the only way to save his daddy is to become a big red fish! In this lively Cajun folk tale, T-Boy sacrifices everything to help his parents—and finds that there’s more magic in the world than he ever knew.

Reviews
School Library Journal
“The Cajun dialect reads well and is accompanied by primitive paintings bordered in frames painted to look like wood. For those looking for more books on Cajun life or on environmental concerns, this one is worth consideration.”
