Les Histoires de Grand-Mère — Grandmother’s Bayou Tales | Bilingual Story & Activity PDF

Three little tales. A shared laugh. A family story worth listening to.

Camille and Mamère find humor and wisdom in a paper canoe, a memory box, and a song with a wonderfully wrong word. Les Histoires de Grand-Mère — Grandmother’s Bayou Tales is Book 10 in Big Mamou Enterprises’ Bayou Children’s Folklore & Craft Series.

Inside this five-page PDF

• Three original short tales in English and Cadien-inspired French.
