Histoires pour Enfants
Thursdays from 12pm-12:30pm
During Histoires pour Enfants, David will be in the children’s section of the Alliance française library
and available to read aloud together
with any children who stop by.
Children can come and go as they wish.
Parents can also participate!
David will choose books, or the children can choose a book. He will be happy to take suggestions from parents for an appropriate book, subject, level or style of reading, as well as to discuss the child’s participation afterward if parents want to learn how they are doing.
Histoires pour Enfants is intended to be a time to enjoy reading, the French language,
and social interaction!
A little bit about David:
David Hutchinson is an active Alliance Française student, member, and Library volunteer. He moved to Sacramento in 1987 and lives in the River Park neighborhood, where he created a magical garden which children frequently visit.
David spent fifteen years working with children, first as an au pair on a farm, then as a teacher in pre-school with toddlers, and finally ten years as a registered nurse on the pediatric ward at UC Davis Medical Center.
He loves language, reading aloud, and picture books!

Event Details
You are invited to a twice-monthly group
on Thursday evenings from 6-7pm
in the Alliance Française library
to practice reading, listening,
and perhaps conversing en Français!
The goal is to have fun and comfortably grow our skills. All levels are welcome. We will pick interesting books with easy vocabulary so everyone can follow along.
Participate is flexible: you can simply listen, or try a short reading. We can review vocabulary, grammar, or the reading (in English if necessary) so nobody gets lost. Depending on the group we may incorporate discussion in French. Then see where it goes. Every skill can grow with practice, especially among friends!
First meetings: Thursdays 6-7 pm, November 14 and November 21

Please join us for our monthly Soirée Cinéma on Friday, December 13th for this heart-warming adventure, “Belle et Sébastien”!
Genre: Adventure, Drama, Family
Director: Nicolas Vanier
Review (eyeforfilm.co.uk):
“What began as a Sixties TV series, could so easily have been a Disney cartoon. The ingredients are all
here. Instead, director Nicolas Vanier has performed a small miracle. This tale of a boy and a dog in the
Alps during the German occupation is fabulous to look at, enriched by memorable performances from
Felix Bossuet as the boy and Tcheky Karyo as his grand-dad. The film succeeds in transposing its overt sentimentality into an exciting narrative.”
Cast:
Félix Bossuet
Tchéky Karyo
Margaux Chatelier
