Sweet Arts Design - Unique Personalized Alphabet French-English Book and Prints

We have a wonderful collection of children's books in our home, but none are as unique as this one. Sweet Arts Design has designed a French-English alphabet book that is personalized with your child's name. Young minds are like sponges and these books are a fabulous way to introduce a child to a new language.

The soft cover book is filled with a combination of vibrant colors and images that will capture your child's imagination. Each letter of the alphabet features an image that begins with both the English and French letters. Your child's name is featured on the cover and on their very own page. You also have the option of English or French only.

Sweet Art Designs also offers a variety children's and adult clothing that features their original artwork. The varying colors of the alphabet prints and personalized prints would coordinate with most decor and are available in 8x10 and 11x14. Select from their collection of gifts featuring their artwork, such as bags, notepads, and teddy bears. Their products offer a variety of choices such as color, font, and design.

Makenna and I enjoy reading her new book together. Although, I'm sure it's quite humorous to listen to my attempt at reading French. But, if Makenna enjoys it and it's encouraging her to learn, then I don't mind. She is always engaged when I read it and studies each image, kissing each animal before I turn the page.

Teaching a foreign language can be challenging, especially when you don't speak it. But with helpful tools, such as this keepsake book, introducing your child to the French language is easier and also enjoyable.

As consumers, we all understand that size and fit vary between different clothing and shoe manufacturers, Sometimes making it difficult to order products online. Vincent Shoes are available in Euro sizes and it is recommended to order shoes based on the appropriate US size. I ordered the Love shoes based on my daughter's US size 6 and the fit is perfect fit, allowing room for children's typically wide feet. She was delighted to receive her new shoes and insisted on keeping them on throughout the day. They are the most adorable pink leather shoes that feature pink patent hearts. The cushioned leather insole provides her with comfortable arch support and the Velcro strap enables her to "do it by-self."

Be sure to check out the designer's notes included with each style. Patrick and Thomas provide a personal note that includes a detailed description, design concept and the inspiration behind each design.
