More DescriptionThe colorful world-within-a-world of postage stamps illustrates this lyrical account of a nine-year-old girl’s experiences in Paris. When she and her family move to the city for a year, one of the first places her father takes her is to the stamp market. “Timbres” is the French word for stamps, he tells her, and together they marvel at the hundreds of bright images. As the girl’s collection grows, so does her love for her new life. Whether she’s peering at the Paris skyline from the window of her apartment, saving her brother from the grip of a monkey in the Jardin des Plantes, or making her first French friend, her adventures in the City of Light are magically captured in the dainty images of the postage stamps she collects there. For ages 9-12. Full-color illustrations.
