This is a beautifully illustrated picture book journey through a hundred-year-old New Orleans home in both English and Spanish.
Claudie lives in a house in the oldest part of New Orleans, a city where Mardi Gras beads dance in the breeze and every corner is steeped in history. Her home is a treasure trove of a hundred years' worth of stories, some of which we cannot see, but only feel. Join Claudie as we explore each room through her creative eye--and that of a certain spirit, who Claudie believes may have decorated the home long before her.
Written by a New Orleans enthusiast, The House, the Ghost, and Me is the perfect book for your little ones with a curious mind for interior design. This bilingual picture book will serve as an introduction to historic preservation and empower readers to express their creativity--interior design with a not-so-spooky twist.
