A COLD SNAP

                            Intense colors of these early spring flowers, jacinthes et narcisses, lift spirits during this week's cold snap in the Parisian area. Un coup de froid.

Speaking of cold snaps, get cosy with a children's bedtime story that my French daughter wrote, Le Lapin à la recherche du Printemps. Reading children's stories in a foreign language is an excellent way to boost linguistic skills because they are easy to understand, and like this one, fully illustrated. A mysterious and late snowfall leads Papa Lapin on an adventure full of ups and downs to save springtime. Available in French or English on worldwide Amazon sites. Click here to discover!
