Bienvenue à l'HEURE DU CONTE!
Sur ma chaîne YouTube BookNook, je lis des livres à haute voix en anglais et en français mais ici, à l'HEURE DU CONTE, je raconte des histoires que j'ai écrites en utilisant des mots spéciaux de nos auditeurs, et toujours dans les deux langues.
L'histoire d'aujourd'hui est le Chapitre 2! Veuillez consulter le Chapitre 1 dans l'épisode 7.4 pour la première partie de ce conte.
Elle est inspirée par Lexine et utilise les mots : flamant, arc-en-ciel, étincelle, fleur et pont.
Si vous souhaitez contribuer avec des mots pour une future histoire, veuillez m'envoyer un message.
Le thème de ce mois est la Curiosité, et la pratique respiratoire est la Respiration de la BOITE.
