Chansons Pour Apprendre

This has been a lovely project to work on, and I am very excited to see it completed and finally get to hold a copy in my hands!   I was commissioned to illustrate this book to accompany a CD of original french songs by Les Petits Zouzous a local french school for pre-schoolers and up.  My daughter has been listening to the music with the book on her lap over and over since it's arrived in our house!

This book with it's CD can be purchased from the Les Petits Zouzous website along with the previous French music CDs that I was commissioned to illustrate:

-Chansons d'hiver

-Chansons pour s'amuser

-Chansons pour s'amuser volume 2

-Chansons pour apprendre

Chansons pour s'amuser

This is the new CD by my good friend Audrey Johnson, and Murray Benjamin.  It's just lovely, full of jolly french songs for children [I have to admit that I find myself singing them when no children are around as well!]  I designed the cover - I tried to convey the happy, lively music with the colourful illustrations. They show many of the characters from the songs and the Zouzous mascot, Fifi the flamingo.

Audrey runs Les Petits Zouzous, french classes for pre-schoolers.  She is a brilliant teacher and makes the classes so much fun for the children [who adore her] and her enthusiasm means that an adult, like me, who is pretty bad at french, is soon singing along quite unselfconsciously!  Have a look at her website to find out about classes and why not buy a CD while you're there.

[Just had a quick look at her site - the CDs aren't on there yet, but I'm sure they will be any minute!]
