Su questo libro

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina

It is 1759. Jean-Paul, a young boy, and his family must leave their homes, taking only what they can carry. They are Acadian--French citizens who emigrated to Canada in search of a better life. But now the British are forcing them to leave.
Jean-Paul recounts his family's plight, from their expulsion from Canada and forced labor in Georgia to the hardships they overcome to build a new home. They settle in the lush bayous of Louisiana, where the once-persecuted Acadians and their descendants establish the first Cajun settlements.
Jean-Paul H�bert Was There is a glimpse into Cajun history through the eyes of a young boy and is presented in English and in Cajun French. It is a delightful instrument designed to teach youngsters about their Cajun heritage and native French language.
