Celebrating Louisiana
Jane Kurtz
- Reading
- Browse the maps together, then let your child choose one activity or topic to explore. Treat the book as a starting tour, rather than a complete account of the state.
- Themes
- Celebrating a state: A geography teacher guides readers through selected Louisiana places and topics, including food, music and attractions. The framing openly invites celebration and presents the visit in an upbeat way.
- Worth knowing
- The book presents Louisiana as a state to celebrate, so its upbeat angle may foreground attractions; how much history or complexity accompanies that celebration is not clear.
