de Grummond Children's Literature Collection

de Grummond Children’s Literature Collection at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg recently sent a letter saying they received 650 titles from publishers this year and My Aunt Came Back from Louisiane was a favorite among many of their visitors.

Thanks USM for the nice letter and for sharing my book with your visitors!!!

Another Catchy Book Review!

Here is another review for my book My Aunt Came Back from Louisiane:


"My Aunt Came Back From Louisiane by Johnette Downing is another catchy book from the singer/songwriter."
