Description

Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, taking lives and livelihoods and displacing thousands. For the reason that hurricane struck in the beginning of the school year, the city’s children were among those most affected. Michael Tisserand, former editor of the alternative cultural newspaper Gambit Weekly, evacuated with his circle of relatives to New Iberia, Louisiana. Then, fairly than waiting to find out when―or if―schools in New Orleans would reopen, Tisserand and other parents persuaded considered one of his children’s teachers, Paul Reynaud, to start a school a number of the sugarcane fields.

So was once born the Sugarcane Academy―as the children themselves named it―and so also started an experience none of Reynaud’s pupils will ever omit. This inspiring book shows how a dedicated teacher made the most efficient out of the worst situation, and how the children of New Orleans, of all backgrounds and races, adjusted to Katrina’s consequences.
