Dear Parents,
Made in France’s third-annual Festival Littérature Jeunesse (Youth Literature Festival) will be touring the United States in March and will be stopping over in Seattle! Made in France is welcoming a handful of French-speaking authors and artists to tour different cities and share their literary and artistic passions with lovers of children’s literature.
This year, Hervé Le Goff, Alex Cousseau, and Édouard Manceau have graciously agreed to spend several days with our students at FASPS, and our parents have the opportunity to buy a selection of their works (see below) and have them signed by the authors themselves at Seattle’s French Fest on Sunday, March 19 (Seattle Center).
We are very excited to have this opportunity, and we will be sharing further information with our families as we get closer to their visits. In order to have the books in hand by March 19 to be signed by the authors, we will need to have everyone's orders no later than Friday, February 17:

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.
