Beignet Gets Beignets
Christmas delivery: order by Dec 7 for Media Mail or Dec 15 for Ground Advantage, or pick up free in Baton Rouge.
The world gets sweeter the moment you join in.
Beignet meets a trumpet player, a grandma in a big purple hat, and a boy with a drum, people of every age and color who are nothing like the folks back home, and every one of them is kind to her. When she gets lost, she remembers what Papa always says: sit and listen. That calm is what leads her through the crowd, into a parade, and back to her family.
What kids take away
If you get lost, stop and listen.
Beignet sits down, breathes, and finds the steady beat that leads her home.
Different is wonderful.
Old and young, every color, every kind of hat, all dancing together.
Strangers can be kind.
A cup of water from a grandma’s hand can make a big day feel small again.
Know where your name comes from.
Beignet finally learns why her family named her after something sweet that everybody loves.
