Local author, family receive national award for excellence
Welcome to Willow Hammock and the Cajun Kids Adventures of Beth, Mark, Timmy, Annie, and Sam, as they explore local marshlands, bayous, wildlife, artifacts, and cultures.
“South Louisiana is my home, as you can tell from my work,” explained children’s author Chris Landry, a resident of Maurice.
He is a descendant of the original French Acadians. His wife of 40 years, Jade (Walters) Landry shares a similar heritage as the fifth generation to hunt, trap, and fish the marshes of the Atchafalaya River Basin.
“My great-great-grandfather settled that land,” she said.
