If you like connecting with real history, this is the book for you. It is a book for children and adults. Read it for yourself, then read it to your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. You will love this story of how "Cajuns" (originally from Acadie, which is now called Nova Scotia) came to be in Louisiana. If you are not familiar with the real story, it will be a surprising tale.

Thank goodness for American writers like Sheila Hebert-Collins and others like her who put their creative literary skills to work by preserving their inherited culture. "Jean-Paul Hebert Was There" is a sensitive historical account of the brutal Acadian expulsion (circa 1755-1759) from Nova Scotia, an event boiled into the annals of French-Acadian Americans but not a well understood tragedy by most others. Honestly, this children's book is a good gift for many adults as well because it is beautifully illustrated and complete with a French and English translation of the story's events on every single page. Hebert-Collins calls upon her family's ancestors to create this accurate piece of historical fiction. Although I'm not a teacher, I'd like to think this book would be included on a required reading list of all students of North American history, regardless of how old or young they may be.
