Book Review: On Mardi Gras Day
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a lovely story depicting the fun and celebration of a New Orleans family during Mardi Gras. It draws on the cultural traditions of an African-American family as the author, Fatima Shaik, tells the story from her childhood memories. From rising early to dress in costumes for a day of street parties, watching Mardi Gras Indians in their beautiful newly hand-made suits, watching parades from Nanan's balcony, time at home with family and friends, and finally when night falls, walking to Canal Street with Papa to see the final parade, the special joy and celebration of Mardi Gras is shared by family and friends. Illustrations are beautiful and allow the reader an even more in depth understanding of the Mardis Gras celebration. Note to teachers: This book is a must as you strive to teach diversity in your classroom. As many children will never be able to attend Mardi Gras, they will enjoy learning about this well-known celebration through this wonderful book.
