At Petite Pousse, Stories are at the heart of everything we do.

Seeds Planted for Tomorrow

Our love for children’s literature goes far beyond the familiar favorites like Tchoupi and Peppa Pig. We delight in discovering stories that spark curiosity, celebrate language, and invite children and parents to explore French together in a meaningful way. 

For bilingual children, reading in French isn’t just about learning words,  it’s about building a rich vocabulary, strengthening comprehension, and deepening emotional connection. When a child and a parent share a book, they are doing more than reading: they are looking, listening, wondering, and speaking together, all in the language they are nurturing.

This is why, whether we’re in playgroups, private tutoring sessions, or creating Petite Pousse boxes, we always start with stories.  Books give context to language, make learning playful, and invite conversation in a way that feels natural and joyful. We hope these books become beloved favorites in your home too, and treasures for your family’s journey in French.
