Story and songs Bïa, Erik West-Millette and Olaf Gundel Illustrations Fanny Berthiaume Featuring performances by Alexa Devine, Olaf Gundel and Annick Brémault
Guided by a flock of Canadian geese, Mama and Papa Poss travel north of the 49th parallel by hot air balloon, averting a sudden crash landing thanks to the owl-eyed songstress, Madame Grand Duke, who swoops to the rescue. As they touch down in Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula, she shares an unusual predicament: a pimple on her tongue, preventing her from performing tongue-twisting turlutage lines like tidli-didli-dum, tika-tika tidli-dum! Can Mama and Papa Poss help her pop free in time to perform at Joe Robichaud’s rootsy cabaret?
The narrated story is followed by the songs “Hot Air Balloon” and “Funny Reel.”
“Flying High All the Way to Québec!“is the sixth story in the “We’re a Possum Family Band” series, which follows Mama and Papa Poss on their travels that bring them across North America to the birthplaces of Cajun, jazz, country, rock’n’roll, blues, and traditional Quebecois music.
