Paris-Chien Adventures of an Expat Dog

When Hudson, an adventurous Norwich Terrier, moves to Paris, he loves the sights and smells. But when he tries to make friends, Hudson is surprised to discover that Parisian dogs only speak French. Little Hudson's desire to make friends and thrive in his new environment is so strong that he learns a new language and becomes a Paris-Chien! French words appear in the illustrations, so the book also serves as an introduction to learning French although Hudson's successful experience will be meaningful to any child set down in any new country, city, or school.

Jackie Clark Mancuso is the author and illustrator of a picture book series about Hudson, an American dog living in Paris. The books have been praised by Kirkus Reviews and Publishers Weekly for their humor and originality, featured in museum bookstores to introduce children to art, and singled out by librarians and teachers for their positive role models and educational value in early language learning. Like many children's classics, the books are as much appreciated by adults as by children. Visit jackiemancuso.com and @jackieclarkmancuso on Instagram.
