Down in Mississippi
This fun adaptation of the familiar verse “Over the Meadow” takes a Mississippi viewpoint.

Katherine Zecca’s accurate illustrations accompany the charming rhyme.

“With its compelling cadences and celebration of the Magnolia State’s bountiful natural beauty, Down in Mississippi evokes the richness, expressiveness, and rejuvenating qualities of another of the state’s treasures—the blues.”
—Scott Barretta, coauthor of the Mississippi Arts Commission’s Blues Trail Curriculum and recipient of a 2016 Mississippi Governor’s Award for the Arts
