One little gumbo truck. A whole swamp full of hungry friends. And a wish that brings everyone together!
Meet Molly, an adventurous little Cajun dachshund with a big heart and a delicious pot of spicy gumbo. When Molly wonders whether her swamp friends would enjoy her favorite dish, she has a brilliant idea: take her gumbo on the road in her very own bright red food truck!
From the waters of Lake Dauterive to Lake Fausse Point, Molly serves up steaming bowls of gumbo to a colorful cast of Louisiana wildlife. Ducks, alligators, beavers, pelicans, squirrels, crawfish, and many more discover that good food tastes even better when shared with friends.
But Molly's biggest adventure awaits in a mysterious corner of the Atchafalaya Basin, where spooky stories have kept the animals away for years.
Determined that everyone deserves a bowl of gumbo, Molly follows her heart-and discovers that a little kindness can turn strangers into friends.
Molly's Gumbo Wish by Ann Duplantis is a heartwarming, richly illustrated children's picture book celebrating friendship, generosity, courage, and the joy of bringing people together. Filled with playful character names, lively Cajun expressions, Louisiana culture, and a festive Southern atmosphere, this delightful story invites young readers into a world where everyone is welcome at the table.
Perfect for family read-alouds, storytime, and young animal lovers, this charming adventure reminds children that the greatest blessings are often found in sharing what we have and making room for someone new.
Good food. Good friends. Good times. And one unforgettable gumbo wish!
