Émile prend une décision/Emile makes a decision 

is a tender story about a young boy from the bayous of pop French speaking South Louisiana searching for his purpose.  Day after day, he courageously sets out dressed to assume different identities.  When he tries to be a wild cowboy but can’t find any cattle to herd,  he attempts making boudin like his grandfather Nook. His mother’s injury leads him to his true calling. In this bilingual book, author and illustrator, Melissa Bonin, imbues each delicately drawn image with compassion for her little son Emile as he finds his way.
