Jammin' With Johnette Downing: South Regional Library In-Person
Revered internationally for her “singable” books and trickster tales, Johnette Downing offers a unique musical author visit experience for audiences by combining her books and her music. With Cajun, Creole, blues, jazz, Afro-Caribbean and zydeco influences, this New Orleans native serves up a gumbo of toe-tapping, two-stepping tunes, stirred with a passion for sharing her rich culture with children, and offering plenty of opportunities to sing and dance along. Her books come alive for audiences through participation in the singing-reading connection, encouraging reluctant readers to get jazzed about literacy. Will be selling and autographing books and music after the program. Ages 3-12.
