Bilingual book
Elise is a French 7-year-old who lives overseas. Sitting with her trusty cat, atop a mountain of boxes, she tells her story:
The exciting places discovered while traveling with her family and the summers back in France to stay grounded, but also the angry or sad moments trying to deal with the constant changes of this nomadic lifestyle, away from loved ones too often left behind.
But mummy’s hugs and soothing words are always there to cheer her up and give her strength.
With evocative text and lovely illustrations, this book will help its young readers and their parents deal with the emotional challenges of the expatriate lifestyle.
