Opis

When Carnival rolls around in New Orleans, it's time for everyone to celebrate--including the beads Hanging from his hook on a parade float, a little purple bead hopes to be caught by someone special. He spots a little girl in the crowd who would be perfect for him, but will he be thrown in time for her to catch him? The bigger and more decorated beads tell him that he's much too plain to ever get picked, but if there's one thing this bead knows best, it's that a little hope and determination can go a long way With delightful illustrations and a story sure to charm the entire family, The Little Purple Mardi Gras Bead delivers all the magic and heart that make Mardi Gras an experience like no other.
