Up to Kindergarten

Lena liked to sit in her mother's garden and watch the chickens. But something is missing in this happy group of hens...a sweet little chick! How fortunate that plump little Alma had just laid an egg. But to Lena's surprise, Alma does not seem interested in hatching it. Lena makes a snap decision and attempts to surprise everyone by hatching the chick herself. However, hatching an egg is more difficult than Lena thinks, and the journey from egg to chick is a long one. This is a sweet book about the challenges and joys of being a parent.
Originally from France, Géraldine Elschner studied Germanic and Romance languages.
She has since translated scores of books from German to French and French to German, as well as writing some of her own stories. She draws inspiration from her three children as well as the beautiful town of Heidelberg where she lives. She is the author of many picture books including The Cat and the Bird, Funny Machines for George the Sheep, and Where is the Frog? Originally from France, she studied Germanic and Romance languages, and has translated scores of books, including The Nativity, published by minedition. View titles by Géraldine Elschner
