This book lets children learn something known a negative can be positive. Juju is also different and unique and that's OK. You can be YOU!
In October 2012 Juju set out on her journey in "Juju saves Christmas in da Bayou"...
We find everyone getting ready for Christmas, Santa leaves to deliver his presents when one of his stops is down in “da bayou” of Louisiana. Of all things Santa and his reindeer get stuck in the swamp! Well thank goodness Juju is there to help; she sings out her “good deeds” spell and the gators start to fly in the air. They quickly pack up Juju’s airboat and fly off to finish delivering presents to all the boy and girls. Juju saves Christmas day! It’s a page turner for all ages. This story also gives you the background and "how" answered to our Louisiana Cajun Santa and those gators flying?
Juju then wanted to teach children something crucial in their learning, their ABCs, so in July 2013...
we have "Juju's NOLA ABCs and Fun Facts" Juju teaches the ABCs the only way she knows how….. the NOLA way!!! It's a wonderful learning tool and great for schools and kids to not only learn their ABCs but also some of New Orleans and Louisiana culture and history! As we turn through the pages and discover Juju tasting “H”ot Sauce and learning that it is made from the chili pepper plant that has been around over 100,000 years to Juju sitting under a “M”agnolia tree and learning that the Magnolia was declared the Louisiana state flower in 1900….
