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 VOLUME 2

This is the latest CD by my good friend Audrey Johnson, and Murray Benjamin.  I blogged about their previous CD last year, this is volume 2.  It's equally jolly and full of lovely French songs for children. I designed the cover - It was a pleasure to do; who doesn't want to illustrate a bright pink flamingo in a cabbage patch for their job!!  The images 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.
