Sometimes we feel little. We look around us and we feel that everything is too big for us. All we need is a small gesture, a smile, a helping hand, an act of kindness and we feel better and taller.
Sweet book that demonstrates that a small act of kindness goes a long way to show people that they matter and are not so small, we can see them.

A funny story, this time this is not about children struggling to wake up and go to school. No, it is about a teacher who is not a morning person. She does not want to get up and get dressed, she does her best to avoid climbing into the car, she sulks during the whole trip to the school.
Cute story to put some humour into children’s morning routine. Some of teachers struggle too.

Happy reading with Le toboggan!
It was a real pleasure to contribute to the Goethe Society’s celebration for Harmony day.
After spending some time with the parents watching all German speaking children play different games, we had a taste of several yummy German food, including Pretzels.
I then read books in French and in Spanish. It was an interactive session where there were exchanges of words in German, French and Spanish. We try to guess words in one of those 3 languages and I could tell some were made up even when it was in German.
Christine Reger, the language coordinator, kindly mentioned us in her article in the April issue of the Treffpunkt (page 3).
I look forward to collaborating on more events promoting multiculturalism in Perth and in Australia.
