Description
Amadou is a newcomer to Acadie. Every Saturday, he likes going to the farmer's market with his mom. At each kiosk, he meets people and discovers food from different countries like the Philippines, the Ukraine, Lebanon, and Morocco. And on this 15th day of August, National Acadian Day, the market is even more exciting, and Amadou's basket is overflowing with wonderful items.
