 For
years Madame Jolivet Johnson has been using
Christiane Lelaure’s songs and music
in her programs with the children. Christiane is a troubadour
who wandered from France to California some 30 years ago humming
a tune or two. Besides her lovely voice, Christiane is a very
sensitive and warm teacher who felt there was such a need
for simple songs to use in the classroom. We couldn’t
agree more! So thanks to Christiane, dozens of children have
learned “Bonjour es tu bien réveillé?”
or “Mardi Gras” and my all time
favorite “Paris”. To find out
more about Madame Christiane her school in Petaluma and how
you can purchase her CDs and tapes please visit her website:

Jean Paul Peluffo, is especially talented
with vegetables.
