| Description: |
This tribute to the Gulf Coast region's strong storytelling tradition reveals the richness of the region spanning Texas to Florida. Filled with poems, essays, journal entries, and information on the area's natural features, this collection introduces stories of the Choctaw Indians, fur traders, cotton farmers, and city kids. Illustrations. |
| Synopsis: |
Written especially for families (with children ages 9 and up), this collection of stories, poems, and essays explores what makes the Gulf Coast region distinct, both culturally and environmentally. Four sections cover adventures (scalloping and hurricanes, for example); great places (swamps, bayous, lakes, and beaches); reapers and sowers (from cotton farmers to berry pickers); and wild lives (focusing on alligators, egrets, manatees, and other creatures). Featuring Choctaw legends and songs from the cotton fields, this book evokes the literature, history, geography, ecology, and society of one of America's treasured regions. |
