📚📚📚 Join us Sunday for an introduction to the French language through storytelling! ⁠
⁠
Our French Reading Circle is a fun 30-minute storytime for toddlers and early elementary readers. Each session features a read-aloud of a picture book in French and a brief English story summary so every child (and grown-up!) can follow along. ⁠
⁠
Whether your little one is a total beginner or already saying bonjour, this is a great way to spark a love of language through books. ⁠
No French knowledge required.⁠
