At long last! Our project is finished! This book was created with the bilingual kindergarten class at L'école Saint-Thomas, in Strasbourg. Two groups of 25 kids, two teachers full of energy, culture and know-how, and me in the bargain. What fun!

The children spent their second trimester working on the life cycles of ladybugs and butterflies, as well as other garden inhabitants. It was up to me to take their work and turn it into a book that retraced their their adventures, and which will remind them later on of the time they spent with their much-loved teachers.

The various illustrative elements were created by the children (with the help of their teachers, of course!), and I put them together, in order to make the finalised illustrations. The children also created the story, with a bit of help from a book that they read together in class. The layout and a few of the illustrations are also my work.

The first double page spread includes the drawings which represent the groups in which the children worked for the story's illustrations and text. And the very last double page spread contains the same background, but in the place of the drawings, we see the names of each of the children involved.

And now for a few pages!
