This book is unique to the state of Louisiana. It involves swamp animals going on an adventure. While they are in the swamp they hear noise and cheering. They begin searching and the swamp animals see Saints fans cheering for a football game. This book celebrates New Orleans and Louisiana culture and would be a creative book to read when teaching students about their state and their home.

A few swamp creatures go on a hunt to find where a noise is coming from. They all hear some sort of cheering but can't figure out where it's coming from. They come to realize that the noise they have been hearing is cheering Saints fans at a football game in the superdome. They also notice that a Saints superbowl parade is taking place on the streets of New Orleans.

The Fleua de Lis family prepare for the birth of their new baby, Petit. The oldest child, Lily is very anxious about her baby brother coming. She finally gets to meet him and to her surprise, he has a gift for her. The gift is a bear with a necklace that says "wear this necklace and hold it close to your heart." She is very excited to be a big sister.
