With a Master's in French, Laura has been teaching this beautiful language for nearly 40 years. In Nicowlas, she wanted to share the old-fashioned childhood her children were able to have in the Swiss Alps: their freedom to move about the village and to play outside to their heart's content, in short, a picture book life. Parts of the text are bilingual so that readers may pick up a smattering of French by the end of the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.06 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 05, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52669878927667,"sku":"9781523250530","price":20.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dU91dzFWMTcwNzkvQ25YbHBwTzFidz09.webp?v=1762829625","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/nicowlas-first-memories-of-switzerland-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
