Deborah Ousley Kadair

From the alligators that live in the Louisiana lowlands and the blooming magnolia flower, to the fleur-de-lis that appears on that state flag, Deborah Ousley Kadair celebrates Louisiana state symbols in this colorful picture book. She uses the blue sky as a backdrop to recreate symbols in the shape of clouds and then invites children to guess the symbol by offering clues, in the traditional I Spy game format. 

 This guessing game features thorough facts about seven state symbols, including the brown pelican, which lends the state its nickname—the Pelican State. The repetition and rhyme make this a fun way for children to learn about Louisiana culture.

From the state flower to the state flying mammal, author and illustrator Deborah Ousley Kadair celebrates her love of the Lone Star State in this colorful tribute to Texas’s most famous state symbols. With clever rhymes and her trademark collage illustrations, this what-am-I guessing game teaches young children about seven important state symbols and instills in them Kadair’s passion about Texas heritage.
