Named after Brittany's late mother, Delphine Denise and the Mardi Gras Prize is the book that launched her publishing career. After losing her mother, Brittany turned to writing as a way through grief — and created a story that celebrates everything her mother loved: big personalities, fierce friendship, and the vibrant culture of New Orleans.
With joyful illustrations by Sawyer Cloud, this picture book is a celebration of Mardi Gras traditions and the discovery that the best prizes aren't always the ones you set out to win. If your child loves Delphine Denise, they'll love Millie Magnus — Brittany's chapter book series about another unforgettable girl with big dreams.
