Pierre the Parrot’s Guide to Paris

"Pierre the Parrot's Guide to Paris" is the first-of-its-kind travel guide created specifically for children—and it begins with a real moment in Luxembourg Gardens, where wild green parrots sparked an idea that grew into something bigger. Pierre is inspired by a real parrot living in the heart of Paris, a sharp-eyed local who "knows" the city's hidden details and timeless landmarks, and who now guides young readers through them. This book introduces Paris through Pierre's perspective, giving kids a front-row view of the city's most iconic sights. From the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre Museum and Notre Dame Cathedral, readers learn real history, pick up simple French, and connect with the stories behind each place. The approach is clear and engaging—no filler, no fluff—just meaningful details paired with illustration that hold attention and make each stop easy to remember. Grounded in a real-world origin, this isn't a typical children's book. It gives kids context. It builds curiosity. It shows them how places connect to history, culture, and everyday life. Pierre moves through the city with confidence, introducing young travelers to Paris in a way that feels natural and memorable, whether they've already visited or are seeing it for the first time through these pages. If you find yourself in Paris, take a moment to look up. You might just spot a flash of green soaring above the rooftops or gliding past the city's landmarks. Pierre isn't just a character—he's rooted in a real place, and he just might be out there, watching over the sights he calls home.
