Sweet Magnolia
Sweet Magnolia
By Virginia Kroll

Join Denise as she visits her grandmother in the Louisiana bayou for a school vacation she'll never forget in Sweet Magnolia. Grandma, a wildlife rehabilitator, shares her knowledge with Denise as they explore the mysterious bayou. After learning the valuable lesson that wild animals must be free, Denise returns to the city with a new-found wisdom and a very special treasure. Vibrant, realistic illustrations let readers experience the busy bayou and the joyful lifestyle of Cajun and Creole culture.
