ABC Acadie - Hardcover

A is for our ancestors, who voyaged by ship from France more than 200 years ago. Our family settled in a great meadow called Grand-Pre near the Bay of Fundy. We worked hard as farmers and lived in harmony with the Mi'kmaq people and the wild animals in the dark forest. B is for Cape Blomindon."

H is for the harvest festival held every year. The apples and vegetables were stored in big baskets in the stone-walled cellars beneath the houses. The whole village gathered in the churchyard to give thanks for the bounty of the land.

V is for the terrible voyage we were forced to take during the war between England and France. The British soldiers burnt our houses, separated our families, and herded us onto the boats as if we were cattle. They didn't trust us because we spoke French.
