Musician and author Johnette Downing will lead children in a sing-along with familiar and new tunes. This feel-good summer fête includes hand-clapping from “Anna Banana,” Cajun two-stepping with “Bon Jour Mes Amis,” call-and-response in “Wonderful Friends,” and the square dance reel “Brass Wagon.” The program also features Johnette’s book Petit Pierre and the Floating Marsh, a story about friends who get together to build a community.
Called the Musical Ambassador to Children and the Pied Piper of Louisiana Music Traditions, Johnette is a multi-award-winning singer, musician, composer, author, and poet from New Orleans. Her books and CDs will be available for purchase and signing.
