About This Book
A rhythmic day-in-the-life poem follows two young siblings in a Parisian setting as they rise, eat, attend lessons, play in the Luxembourg, and visit the Louvre. Hour-by-hour verses trace breakfasts, school, naps, riding, dancing, tea, toys, and evening prayers, contrasting a dainty, patient sister with a more impulsive, playful brother. The poems gently balance study and play while emphasizing manners, art appreciation, and the everyday routines of childhood.
