Our 10” x 10” hardcover picture book features original watercolor paintings by artist Roberta Van Zandt Loflin.

“Do you ever wonder where it all comes from and how it is made?” Jeanette Weiland’s Red Beans & Rice book is a playful and polite lesson about farm to table. When Magnolia Rose and her friends visit Grandma Bee and Grandpa Pepper’s farm in rural Louisiana, the children discover their outdoor playgrounds are the source of the flavorful ingredients used to make favorite Louisiana dishes: Red Beans & Rice, Strawberry Shortcake, Seafood Po-Boys, Sweet Satsumas, Pecan Pralines and more.

This is author Jeanette Weiland’s second rhyming and vividly illustrated children’s story, and it’s the first time she’s teamed up with her artist mother, Roberta Van Zandt Loflin, whose original water color illustrations were produced for the book.

Red Beans & Rice encourages readers and children to read together and discover the lost connection between the earth, farms, and the plate. The story fosters appreciation for farm fresh and nutritious foods grown in Louisiana.

The colorful watercolor scenes invite children and parents to uncover new details each read and are sure to become a staple story among your family. The pops of color capturing Louisiana agricultural images and spirit invite close inspection and repeated requests as a favorite read.
