Louis The Otter Who Could Sing

This novel tells the story of Louis, an extraordinary singing river otter, who is very different from the otters in his romp, and his journey from the Atchafalaya River Basin to New Orleans, Louisiana. Through his unexpected friendship with a wood thrush-and their separation during a storm-Louis forges relationships that teach him about acceptance, rejection, the value of friendship, and why being yourself is brave.

Includes a glossary of phrases and terms specific to Louisiana and New Orleans. Perfect for advanced upper elementary and middle school readers. Proceeds from Louis will be donated to the development and education of young performing artists.
