Can I give it to you?

And I was like, of course you can.

And the name of the book is called Mr. Okra Sells Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.

And it's about a man in New Orleans who had a truck where he would drive around the city and sell fresh fruits and vegetables.

And the book is all about all the different places.

It's sort of like –

The blueberries were blue like this building in New Orleans.

The tomatoes are red like this place in New Orleans.

So it's like all about like it's like a tourism guide to New Orleans set against this character.

And it's also he sings a song.

So when you read the book, if you're a good parent like I am, you sing a song with it, you know, because it's all about how he sings through the streets of New Orleans.

And at the time, it was just my oldest daughter was around.

And then my middle kid was born, and I started reading it to her.

And she loved that book so much that she's like, I want to go to New Orleans.

And I was like, and New Orleans is only two hours from Alabama.
