    Vivienne in Paris: Book Cover

    Vivienne in Paris

    Written by Maria Castellucci Moore

    Illustrated by Emanuela Mannello

    Ages 4+ | 38 Pages

    Publisher: Mascot Kids | ISBN-13: 9781637551431

    What to Expect: Adventure, sensory experiences, France, mindfulness

    Vivienne has decided to play tourist for the day in her beautiful hometown of Paris, France. However, her grand-père has a challenge for her—can she move through the city experiencing it with all five of her sense, as if she were seeing it for the first time? Vivienne decides to give it a try. She concentrates on the warm, buttery taste of her breakfast croissant, the calm and graceful sound of the violin playing at the Opera House, and the creamy, pungent scent of the Brie at the Fromagerie. Living in each magical moment as she finds it, Vivienne learns to appreciate her city as never before!

    The human brain is unique in its ability to dwell on the past and imagine the future, but this ability can sometimes mean we miss the beautiful things around us in the present moment. Vivienne in Paris draws on mindfulness teachings about living in the present and the body to take readers on a delightful tour of Paris, experiencing the city’s unique sights, smells, and sounds for themselves as they follow Vivienne on her explorations. At the same time, the story gently guides readers to pay attention to their senses and bodies to experience the wonder in their own lives. Delightful, pastel-colored illustrations evoke Vivienne’s happiness, while the longer text style makes this simple story appropriate for more advanced readers.

    Ooh, la, la! Vivienne in Paris is beautiful, joyful, and instructive—a real feel-good story.
