A Multilingual Children’s Book Author: Meet Dulce Rodrigues
Meeting interesting people is by far the best part of blogging. Let me tell you about a new email acquaintance of mine—Dulce Rodrigues.
Dulce, a native of Portugal, is the author of plays, books, and a CD-rom for children. This talented, award-winning writer has been published in both French and Portuguese (English coming soon!) Her books include: Le Père Noël est enrhumé, Le Théâtre des animaux, A Aventura do Barry, and L’Aventure de Barry.
Check out this excerpt from her web site:
“I believe the language is the soul of a people, and the best way to understand other cultures is by learning their own languages and practising them whenever possible in their native country. I speak six living languages and I already lived in four different countries.”
“. . . the soul of a people.” The second I read this quote I knew that Dulce Rodrigues is a kindred spirit! For a little international treat, I encourage you to explore her web site. In her travelogue, you’ll find lovely photos from Portugal, France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, Romania, Canada, and Egypt. (One day I will be so well-traveled . . . one day!)
Dulce also introduces her internet readers to Portuguese gastronomy and poetry by French school children. Your kids can explore Barry4Kids.net, a site designed especially for them. Barry is a Portuguese dog living in Belgium. (See? So international!) Look for The Adventures of Barry to be published in English later this year.
Dulce, c’est un plaisir de faire votre connaissance
