Disco and Me is a French and English story about a boy whose wish to discover Québec comes true when he meets Disco, a black Labrador. The boy follows Disco on a magical journey beginning in Jacques Cartier National Park. The pair then visit stunning landmarks and wintertime spectacles in Quebec City, and finally a sugar shack (Cabane à Sucre). This story emphasizes the unique and enchanting qualities of Quebec's landscape and culture, and how the French language is alive and is both a part and an expression of Quebecois culture. 

I wrote this book because, as a French teacher, I saw a need for novice to intermediate level French children's books that integrate culture. My love of Quebec began in college, when I did a summer program at the Université Laval and has to continue to grow as I take my students there biannually. They absolutely love it!  

The cover of this book is glossy. It measures 9"X12." The size is both manageable to be handled by young hands, but big enough to be seen when read to students in the classroom. It includes a glossary of Québécois expressions and a proverb used in the book. The bilingual text is separated by fleur-de-lys and maple leaves icons that transform from natural to stylized.
