My book promotion tour continues to inspire!

Stu Blair

If you're in Adelaide, I hope you can join me and Les Aventures de Paris et Freddie Illustrator, Joanna Hassam, for a fun-filled celebration of bilingual education, including an illustration workshop for audience members!

Sincere thanks to Onkaparinga Libraries Hub Library as official event sponsors.

A spectacular book signing event!

Thank you to the teachers who stopped by my signing table at the Adelaide Comic Convention and Toy Fair on October 6 and purchased a copy of Les Aventures de Paris et Freddie, Australia’s first bilingual French–English graphic novel created and set in Adelaide.

This project celebrates the spirit of language, art, and place, bringing together storytelling, cultural identity, and multimodal literacy.

Designed for both classrooms and readers of all ages, Les Aventures de Paris et Freddie invites learners to explore French and English side by side, while also discovering the beauty of Auslan (Australian Sign Language) as part of its visual narrative.

Seen here with my illustrator Jo Hassam, we had a fantastic time engaging with the greater Adelaide community during the book signing!

The book signing coincided with my exhibition “From Brussels to Adelaide, the language of comics continues to inspire classrooms worldwide.”

The exhibition celebrated the linguistic brilliance of Belgian comics, their profound role in language education and enduring influence on the global comic book market.

Thank you to all teachers and school representatives who attended and explored how my Language in Action pedagogy uses sequential art to energise language learning worldwide.

More fantastic news!

I'm excited to announce a new agreement with Australia's largest French Supermarket, France At Home!

The physical and online store recently purchased stock of my bilingual French-English graphic novel Les Aventures de Paris et Freddie for their shelves!
