Bayou Magic by Jewell Parker Rhodes

5.0

---

A summer in the bayou helps a little girl find her own sense of self and place. Maddy borrows the magic of her ancestors as she explores the mysterious landscape of the bayou with her new friend bear. As her magic grows, she finds the courage to help her friend and the community survive an ecological disaster. Great story for children who struggle with finding their place in their family.
