One cannot help but be amazed to hear certain multisyllable French words roll off the tongues of primary school children here, like Vercingétorix, the Gallic hero, or ornithorynque, the word for platypus. Of late, I've had to practice pronouncing the latter because my daughter has published another French children's story, Le Lapin et l'Ornithorynque.
This is the third book of our on-going mother-daughter project in which she writes contes pour enfants, and I illustrate them. Caring and being kind are always the predominant themes of her stories, with this latest hoping to inspire children to help others, no matter what their differences. Click here to take a peek inside!
Vocabulary
un conte: a tale
un conte pour enfant: a children's story
