Mumbo Jumbo Stay out of the Gumbo

It’s Carnival Season and time to throw your young ones some Mardi Gras READS! This two book set introduces children to two culinary centerpieces of Carnival; the king cake in Who Got the Baby in the King Cake?, and gumbo in Mumbo Jumbo, Stay Out of the Gumbo. This set also teaches children about the two types of Mardi Gras in Louisiana, the grandeur of floats, kings and queens in New Orleans, and the rural Courir de Mardi Gras in Cajun country.
Well, it was time for a reprint of my picture book Mumbo Jumbo, Stay Out of the Gumbo, illustrated by the amazing Jennifer Lindsley, and the publisher and art director (Pelican Publishing) thought it might be fun to give the cover more of a Mardi Gras feel. We also added the subtitle A Cajun Mardi Gras Tale, something I wished I had done before the first printing.
This book represented the State of Louisiana at the National Book Festival in Washington, D. C. in 2017, and Jennifer and I attended the event dressed in our Cajun Mardi Gras attire!
So, tah dah! Here is the new cover! The book is being printed as we speak and should be in stores in time for Mardi Gras season. You can preorder it now, and the books will be shipped when they arrive.
Happy very early Mardi Gras!
