Acclaimed author Mary Alice Fontenot&nbsp; was born on April 17, 1910.&nbsp; She wrote the "Clovis Crawfish" series, in which the title character and his animal friends experienced a host of adventures. The goal of the series, for which she penned 18 different books, was to teach life lessons to children while helping them learn a little of the Cajun French language; Clovis and his pals spoke mostly English with Cajun sayings and songs thrown in. She also wrote other books, including "The Star Seed" and "The Louisiana Experience." Ms. Fontenot passed away on May 12, 2003. <br /> </li><li>This week in Louisiana. <br /> <a href="https://www.festivalinternational.org/">Festival International de Louisiane<br /> </a>April 27-May 1, 2022<br /> 315 Lee Ave <br /> Lafayette, LA <br /> (337) 232-8086 <br /> info@festivalinternational.org<br /> Welcome to Festival!
