My parrain is the Loup Garou. I don’t tell no lie. I tell you true. Children will be captivated by the lilting rhythm and the swirling images of this original tall tale by Louisiana songwriter and raconteur Johnette Downing. In this heartwarming Cajun story, told with the cadence of the bayou, the young boy offers proof that his parrain (“godfather” in Cajun French), who possesses seemingly superhuman strength and wolf-like qualities, is in fact the mythical creature, the Loup Garou. As playmates, the child and the parrain set out on magical adventures, perhaps too good to be true. The bold whimsy of Heather Stanley’s illustrations creates a fantastical world as the two traverse swamps and rivers. This lighthearted twist to the often dark oral traditions of the Cajun werewolf is sure to make children laugh and wildly dream.
