Grandma and Grandpa’s Traveling House in Louisiana

Explore riverboats, jazz music, Cajun traditions, brown pelicans, giant cypress swamps, the Louisiana Purchase, and the mighty Mississippi River in this fun children’s travel adventure!

Grandma T and Grandpa Dave are back on the road as their traveling house takes them into the colorful and history-filled state of Louisiana! When Jack, Morgan, and Little Lainey receive a special invitation to Louisiana Movie Night, they can hardly wait to discover what Grandma and Grandpa experienced on their newest adventure.

As the movie begins, young readers climb aboard a classic paddlewheel riverboat with Grandma T, Grandpa Dave, and their new friend, Captain Luc. Together they travel down the mighty Mississippi River from Baton Rouge to New Orleans and all the way to the Gulf of America, learning why this famous river has played such an important role in American history and trade.

Along the journey, children discover busy river traffic, giant barges, tugboats, and the historic riverboats that once carried families, supplies, and mail along the Mississippi. They also learn about the Louisiana Purchase and how it helped shape the future of the United States and opened the door to westward exploration.

Perfect for kids ages 4–8, Grandma and Grandpa’s Traveling House in Louisiana combines geography, history, science, culture, and family adventure into one unforgettable river journey. Ideal for homeschool, classrooms, road trips, Louisiana state studies, and grandparents reading with their grandchildren.
