What is On Mardi Gras Day about?

Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a festival for the whole city-and in this buoyant picture book two children experience the holiday in their own special way. Watching the Mardi Gras Indians in their beautiful hand-sewn costumes; viewing the parades and catching the beads and coins pitched from the fabulous floats-from dawn till night's end, this is a day filled with wonders. Author Fatima Shaik's vivid picture of Mardi Gras in a close-knit African-American community is perfectly illustrated by Floyd Cooper's shimmering paintings, filled with the pageantry and spirit of this grand celebration. <p>Two children participating in the traditional Mardi Gras celebration see such sights as the Zulu and Rex parades, enjoying the songs, bright costumes, and gigantic floats. </p>
