The Acadian Memorial brings Canadian, Lila Hope-Simpson's, new book Fiddles & Spoons: Journey of an Acadian Mouse to the children of Louisiana so they can learn the story of the Acadians and why they settled here.

Cecile Souris (Souris - French for mouse) will come off the pages of the storybook, "Fiddles & Spoons" to tell her story! Madame Souris will enter the Acadian Memorial, in costume, to tell her version of the Acadian odyssey where she lived under the floorboards of an Acadian family, les Dubois of Grand-PrÈ, Nova Scotia, during the 1700s! The Acadian spirit shines through when Cecile Souris and her mouse family find themselves deported and searching for a new Acadie.

Join them on an unforgettable journey in this heart-warming tale of courage, love and joy as the Acadians continue to celebrate life with "Fiddles & Spoons"! more
