Your Francophile kids will want to read the winners of the Prix Albertine Jeunesse.
The Prix Albertine Jeunesse is a prize chosen for children, by children—that is, a reader’s choice award in which people between the ages of three and fourteen vote on their favorite book from a selection of Francophone literature. This award aims to facilitate a cultural exchange as well as encourage a love of learning languages and reading works in translation.
This year’s theme is “growing up,” and the winners are below. Allons-y!
