What is La librairie des tout-petits?
This project is designed for parents of children attending the Carrefour francophone’s childcare services. Each month, a catalog of French book suggestions (classified by subject, age group, etc.) is offered by author and father, Antoine Côté Legault.
This project is produced by the Carrefour francophone de Sudbury, in collaboration with the Librairie Panache at Place des Arts!
