ISBN: 0884196045348.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the autobiography of pen-and-ink artist Floyd Sonnier of Lafayette, Louisiana. Written and illustrated by Mr. Sonnier, the book tells the story of growing up as a French-speaking Cajun in south Louisiana in the 1940s and ’50s. The book – which took some 10 years to write and 35 years to illustrate – recounts the way life was for him and his family growing up in a culture whose first language was French, whose religion was Catholic, and whose livelihood was the family farm. The combination of intimate first-person stories and detailed drawings of scenes from days gone by creates an insightful, refreshing new view of a colorful era in south Louisiana history. The text is presented in both English and French. This art book contains 124 drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: Acadian House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44429503758389,"sku":"ByrdShop_0925417467","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780925417466_95521b76-40ed-47bf-8ea3-c24b45f670c1_e195ee15-ebbc-42bb-b273-c42988397aeb_5ea06783-e75b-4679-88d2-83e674527d67.jpg?v=1790330074","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/from-small-bits-of-charcoal-the-life-works-of-a-cajun-artist-english-and-french-edition-0884196045348","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
