An Australian first bilingual book release!

Stu Blair

You are cordially invited!

Special thanks to the City of Marion Libraries for sponsoring my fast-approaching July 16 book launch of Les Aventures de Paris et Freddie !

The bilingual French English storybook (with Auslan, too!) is ready to leap off the press!

This is an Australian first, created and set on the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia. The hardcover adventure combines the magic of la bande dessinée (a French comic book) with the heart of a traditional storybook.

Perfect for Year 6 to adult French and English learners, Paris and Freddie’s first escapade is packed with excitement, intrigue, visual storytelling, and a celebration of languages.

Clich through to the official launch invitation and I look forward to presenting this fantastic adventure to you!

Paris et Freddie book sales commence on May 31 direct from IngramSpark Publishing!
