  • We are lucky to host again great children and youth independent author Joana Estrela, one of our favorites. Her cats and dogs books have been translated and published by a French editor, so finally we have them in Bimbi Books! We will do an interactive book reading, with a projection and sounds of the books, it is almost as if the books come to life. These books are perfect for pre-readers, because they almost have no text, there are a few words with sounds around, but the story is there to follow in a comic format. Join us for this fun afternoon around great books and get your copy dedicated by author Joana Estrela. The only thing that remains, is are you choosing cat or dog team? #bimbibooks #brusselswithkids #flagey #kinderboeken #librairiejeunesse
