Fiddles & Spoons

Fiddles & Spoons: Journey of an Acadian Mouse - by Lila Hope-Simpson

Cécile Souris and her mouse family live under the floorboards of the Dubois family’s little Acadian house in eighteenth-century Grand Pré. The house – above and below the floor - is full of good food, laughter, and the wonderful sound of fiddles and spoons. But one day, soldiers arrive and take the Dubois family – and the Souris family with them – far away from Grand Pré. Join them on an unforgettable tale of courage, joy and music as the Acadians continue to celebrate life with fiddles and spoons!
