My Thoughts:
In this storybook we get to travel with a young girl by the name of Vivienne in her hometown of Paris, France. Yes, Vivienne gives us inside look through a child's eyes of what it might look like to spend a lazy Sunday traversing through Paris.
Vivienne is excited to start her day and first visits her grandfather. He in turn tells her to go about her day with her senses. Really focus, kind of hyper focus on all that you do, don't just let the joys of the day pass you by. Rejoice in them instead. That is exactly what Vivienne does as she goes about her usual activities through Paris, she brings the reader along and through her senses gives us vibrant and rich descriptions of all that she is experiencing.
Whether she is eating or shopping, tasting and smelling, even what she hears, Vivienne takes her grandfather's advice and really stops to smell the roses, so to speak. This is a bright, colorful storybook that shows the thrill that an ordinary day and ordinary things can be. Just in Paris!
