Let’s read French

When we are in US I try to keep a balance between reading French and English stories. Of course I can find French books for kids in public libraries, even if it is not a place dedicated for children so we have to be very quiet (humm not so easy).

As usual there is the Alliance Française and then if I want to buy something I go on Amazon.ca, it is the place to buy all the great French books for kids or parents.

And in Paris I go on Amazon.fr. It is the biggest English library for kids, adults. I love it. You can find a great selection of books for great price, because most of the time they have new and used books. A book I read to my kids lately is Fancy Nancy and the boy from Paris, I really liked it and my kids too.

The Storymobile in Boston has begun

Today was the first day of the ReadBoston Storymobile. It is a 6 weeks summer program for the kids of Boston that provides a storytelling and giveaway a book to each kid. One of the great spots is the Boston Public Library on Monday from 11.15 to 12.00. It is downstairs (not with the children books as I thought).

My kids had, like last year, a lot of fun, because for example today they learned to the kids some signing language. The professional storyteller invited the kids to come on stage and make some signs to make a story.

As a parent I had also a good surprise I met Maria Dolorico, I had just read her blog and appreciate her job, she is a Peri-natal Counselor and Doula. And if like today it  is sunny you can go to Tad Pole Playground on Thusday from 11.00 to 11.45. Have fun with reading!
